A few days ago I had the opportunity to sit down with @leo @jeffjarvis and @parismartineau to talk about the open social web and the work we're doing with @surf
It was a wide ranging discussion and an absolute pleasure to go deep on all things fediverse with these legends.

"AI overviews have resulted in declines of 70 to 80 percent in the click-through rates to the web pages from which they derive their information. That’s 70 to 80 percent fewer visits to web pages..."

2.4.2025 22:00Great read#californiabookclubPeerTube is really impressive.
It's been a great place to post all our Dot Social videos because anyone can follow @dot_social and then comment and repost our episodes using any ActivityPub compatible app/platform. Rather than relying solely on the YouTube algo for discovery, these videos get discovered via a myriad of ways that are for more organic and sustainable.
Anyone who cares about getting their videos discovered and building an audience they actually own should also be posting their videos on PeerTube and getting folks to follow them there.

We went deep on the power of the hashtag, the future of identity and reputation online, and the potential of using AI for moderation at scale.

This year is very different thanks to the work of legions of builders and evangelizers over the past two years.
On Sunday and Monday we're hosting the first fediverse house at #SXSW with some great people like @molly0xfff @pluralistic @mmasnick.bsky.social @evan @davidimel.com @pcottle @jasonkoebler and many more.
Stop by if you're in town and say hello. You can RSVP here (nearly 1,000 RSVPs so far!) https://about.flipboard.com/fediverse-house/
There are so many great apps and services in the fediverse. To gain a better understanding of these I spoke with @atomicpoet for the latest episode of DotSocial. As many of you already know, Chris is a long time fediverse enthusiast with a lot of insight into the past, present and future of the social web.
We had a really fun discussion. Check it out on our PeerTube instance or wherever you get your podcasts.
