I should share that I was an advisor briefly to Post.news, asked to put together an advisory board. I withdrew for various reasons -- disagreement about another advisor and about federation -- and have no ties to it now. I received nothing. I like Noam, its founder, and respect his work (Waze!). I'll watch Post. But I'm much more engaged here and want to study and learn about the potential of federation -- ActivityPub, Bluesky, Scuttlebutt -- as a model for public discourse.

@mojo Let many flowers bloom. And let them open their flowers to the pollinating bee of the Fediverse grove. (sorry)
@jeffjarvis @mojo Let 100 flowers bloom has an ominous history - I'm not sure if you can say "ominous history" but anyways.
@vy @jeffjarvis The parable of Johnny Appleseed always resonated with me since childhood.
