Of Course #Mastodon Lost Users: Scalloped growth is not evidence of a platform in decline.

I gave a talk today at Decent Social with two converging subjects:

- "Content addressing" is an underrated tech, and the secret sauce that could make Mastodon actually decentralized
- You can actually get good parts for a social network by putting together ideas the cryptocurrency community *threw away*

I recorded this talk, but… did not manage to record the sound !!!

So I took my slide notes and expanded them into a tiny, staccato blog post, if you'd like to read:

Via @whitneymcn, this is fantastic: https://elongineering.com/

From: @pluralistic:

"To understand the future of Mastodon, we have to understand network effects...a product or service that gets more valuable as it attracts new users.

The people who stay...make it a busier, more exciting place...the next surge will find an even higher equilibrium as users who try Mastodon find more fully acclimated users who can hold their hands as they get settled in, and also provide the vibrant community that presents a good reason for doing so."

It's getting less attention than the transphobia, but the antisemitism of JK's entire world, and in the game specifically, should also be condemned. https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/hogwarts-legacy-antisemitism-goblins-horn/

nobody ever debates whether transphobes have a right to exist in public or in the same spaces as trans people.

Remember how we used to open our windows to clap at 7pm and said things like “we’re all in this together” and felt genuinely connected in our fear and isolation, and now everyone’s like “fuck your chronic health condition I’m bored wearing a mask in Krogers.”

The sound looking pretty this morning!! #pugetsound #ElliotBay #Seattle #downtownseattle #citylife #photograph #seascapes

These keep for two years.

If you're a fertile birthing person, it's a good idea to order them stat.

Even if you live in what is (for now) a state that permits abortion.

We live in a time of fascist creep. Be prepared for what might come next.
