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.
@jeffjarvis Iโ€™m skeptical of BlueSky because Dorsey was revealed to be investing in muskโ€™s twitter.
@crutherford @jeffjarvis
Big shout of BINGO on that.
@Bewickwren @jeffjarvis and was sneaky about it! I donโ€™t trust any of those guys at this point.
