Happy 16th #hashtagiversary! The humble hashtag turns old enough to drive today! 🎂Here's my proposal that kicked it off. Some of the ideas in here have still never been built by a mainstream social media platform. 😬https://J.mp/tagchannels

Pixelmator Pro 3.4 is out focusing on improved PDF support, including support for "Apple PDFs" — which sounds suspiciously like a new proprietary direction for the "portable document format"?Will this format be announced at tomorrow's #AppleEvent?https://www.pixelmator.com/blog/2023/09/11/pixelmator-pro-3-4-brings-advanced-support-for-pdf-files/#NewPixelmator #ReleaseNotes

@JonnyT just seems quite conspicuous to call this out — since it seems related to iWork-generated documents.

That sound you hear is the fediverse expanding! "ActivityPub 1.0.0 for WordPress has been released allowing WordPress blogs to be followed by others on apps like Mastodon and others in the fediverse and then receive replies back as comments on their own sites."https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/14/wordpress-blogs-can-now-be-followed-in-the-fediverse-including-mastodon/Download here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub//by @Sarahp s/o @pfefferle.wordpress.com @pfefferle #ActivityPub #DiSo

Today I hit 15K followers on Threads, about 95K less than I had on Twitter, and about 6K more than I have on here. Worth tracking because — while the media likes to talk about Threads's struggles — it shouldn't be counted out, especially with federation on the horizon.https://www.threads.net/@chris #ThreadsStats

16 years after the DiSo Project¹ kicked off² to turn WordPress blogs into identity hubs of a vast, open, and decentralized social web, ActivityPub (the successor to ActivityStrea.ms) has now landed in core³.This is huge for the fediverse! 🥳Congrats @pfefferle!https://wordpress.com/blog/2023/10/11/activitypub/¹ https://diso-project.org/² https://factoryjoe.com/2007/12/06/oauth-10-openid-20-and-up-next-diso/³ https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub

@davidhaller @keywordsalad @m @zubatshitcrazy XMPP had its moment, and gave way for successive chat protocols. Twitter originally supported XMPP too — did that help or hinder adoption?

Perhaps the best part of this interview (so far!) is that @Gargron says he prefers the phrase "social web" over fediverse. LET'S DO IT!https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Oc1sz7K9L3NjeDvLotkuH?si=eE8pdpUvR06qY2JA9U1SPg&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A0X00HNuKr8PuhZdpjkPwUT&t=712#DiSo #ActivityPubFrom: @Gargronhttps://mastodon.social/@Gargron/111616761510320943

I don't care what anyone says. It's awesome to see fediverse replies appear on a Meta property.Considering Threads isn't even a year old, this is enormous progress over anything Twitter ever did. Jack claims that "Twitter should have been a protocol", but here we're seeing #ActivityPub interop being achieved as we live in breathe.

@strypey You can "hashtag stuff" a post in a non-twattish way as long as you donate brain cells when considering which ones to add.The crime is when people just add tags to try to game the system or garner unearned attention. They create the collective action problem.
