Building the internet you want to find, with Search Engine's PJ Vogt | Dot Social

PJ Vogt didn't set out to build a social network. But when the Search Engine and the Hard Fork teams launched the Forkiverse — a Mastodon instance for their listeners — thousands of people showed up, and something that felt like actual community followed.

@pjvogt #theforkiverse Hey PJ. Love your show! I’ve been thinking a lot about the definition of a friend. And I’ve been wondering, in the age of social media and isolation, what is a friend anymore? If we were to ask people across the generations for an example of a friend, how far apart from one another would they be? There’s been research about friendships being the key to health and overall longevity. Who is even able to have these kind of friendships these days?

#theforkiverse I’m rewatching the 5th element and noticed that Matthew Perry is in opening credits….is this THE Matthew Perry? How come I don’t remember this?

#TheForkiverse It's amazing how a couple of random interactions can lift your mood. Not waiting or even if thinking of "likes" but just people making a connection for a time over something they share. I'd been on Mastodon (fosstodon.org) for about a year but it was too niche and i didn't make enough connections. I'm making a few now and it's making the internet great again. #forkiverse

Hi everyone,

If you are using hastags with multiple words, please use camel case.

#LikeThisExample

Not #likethisexample

Why?

A) Screen readers will see a bunch of letters that doesn't make one word and read out each individual letter. Which makes it hard to understand.

B) For us sighted people, it is also easier to read.

Thanks you

If you're posting an image or video on here, please remember to add a text description for people who cannot see. Blind people use the internet through screen reader software which reads text out loud.

The level of detail needed depends on the image, but generally you should try to explain whatever is important and relevant in the picture.

If you forget a description, just edit the post and add it in afterwards!

Et ça valait totalement la peine.

A month ago there was a lot of buzz on the Fediverse about a new Mastodon server set up by prominent journalists: #TheForkiverse.

There was a rush of sign-ups: nearly 10,000 users in a couple of weeks. People new to the Fediverse, willing to try it out.

It's been hard to gauge how active it still is... so this morning I re-downloaded @IceCubesApp so I could browse their local timeline.

I've been liking and replying to recent posts. Just doing my little in making them feel seen and welcome 🤗
