ChatGPT recently released a new mode, Deep Research, and Casey Newton tested it out with a prompt to write a 5k word report on the fediverse.The best way to judge the quality of this new mode is with some in-depth analysis. So here is Fediverse Report with deep research on Deep Research's fediverse report.https://fediversereport.com/fediverse-reports-deep-research-on-deep-researchs-fediverse-report/

Alternative social networks like the fediverse and Bluesky have constructed a narrative of how growth of the network happens: when Musk does something particularly evil or stupid, people migrate in a wave looking for an ethical alternative. But what happens when that pattern breaks down?I look at how this narrative came to be, how it reflects a specific time period, and how this period might just be over nowhttps://connectedplaces.online/growth-narratives-on-the-new-social-networks/

On a practical note: this summer I'll be experimenting with a few more of these essays. Fediverse news was quiet this week, so Fediverse Report is skipped this week, and instead I wrote this article. Next week's Fediverse Report will have the news of the last 2 weeks instead.If you cant wait, the most important news of this week is the release of Mastodon 4.4: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/07/mastodon-4.4/
