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.

It's deeply frustrating watching my friends who ought to know better—journalists, tech policy people, etc.—acknowledging that Twitter's on the outs, but then getting excited about moving to yet another closed, proprietary platform.

@arossp @jeffjarvis Ahh I've heard stuff about them, but not really able to see much without signing up, which I don't want to do from what I've read so far lol.

I am on Post….people keep saying on Twitter how great it is. I don’t like it. Mastodon is much better and easier to use. IMO of course.

I find the comparisons with Twitter to be odd. Post is not microblogging. It is micropayments. I don’t see why a writer would abandon Medium, Patron, SubStack if they are making $ there. I doubt publishers go for it but would be pleasantly surprised if they did.

It’s a Bezos project?!?
