This is my attempt at a nuanced fair read compiling several months of local and open experimentation.

Very short summary thread 🧵 .....

🚢 I’m a container‑ship nerd. Global trade relies HEAVILY on oil-powered colossi, and that’s not gonna cut it in a climate collapse.

My 10+ year special interest has led to a zero carbon shipping feasibility study:

A total transformation in shipping is mandatory if we want to save global trade. Despite potentially intrinsic obstacles, massive innovation is currently spreading across the globe.

The video has some horrid things said by a bigot, but also really encouraging demonstration of countering hate
Why I confronted Nancy Mace
The goal of my protest wasn’t to convince bigots to stop spreading hate. It was to spark conversation among advocacy groups and philanthropists about how we resist tech-enabled fascism.

Review by one of the creators of ActivityPub (they are working on a new evolution - Spritely Goblins). Anyway, a nice contextual review!

NGI/EU has overall too many rules, and the target of funding are projects (or worse: rigidly predetermined milestones). In my opinion, if it were set up to fund *teams*, it would have accomplished a lot more with tax payer money.

Hi everyone thanks for having me here on Bluesky, I'm new here

I keep hearing about Bluesky/ATProto and Mastodon/ActivityPub. Aren't they the same thing? Could someone explain how decentralized networks work to me

Did bluesky get open sourced yet ? And if not waht's the timeline?

(yes I'm lazy and hoping someone else knows, and if it's not open then talk about values with other here)

Just read a piece from a nostr human about moderation in distributed spaces
https://s3x.social/nostr-content-moderation

Cool to see scuttlebutt influence in there, AND the centering of "censorship resistance" creeps me the fuck out. Why not center "community safety and health"?

This place... feels the same as classic social media? I notice I now don't really want random followers. I want people I know and intimacy, not more performative content.
