Catching up with some of the news coming out of the Atmosphere conference.

"With Attie, anyone will be able to build their own custom feed just by typing in commands in natural language, the same as if they’re chatting with any other AI chatbot."

I'm guessing NFT profile pictures are next?

So, Bluesky is getting more crypto VC money, more AI, and a full year of steadily declining activity.

While the fediverse is getting quotes, UX/UI improvements, starter packs.

Hm!

@stefan the goal of the fediverse doesn't have to be growth, one of the advantages of not being tied to VC funding. I would rather people engaged less here and more in real life, and this place helped with those connections, rather than try to coopt and monetise them.

@BenjaminKlein @stefan this.

Those giant centralized trees, the users are just leaves, feeding their sunlight and nutrients to a billionaire trunk that would just as soon shed them all.

#Fedi is a slow growth forest, lots of different sizes and types of plants, all networking with their neighbors.

Growth isn't the point, connection and meaningful exchanges are the point.

A forest also takes a lot longer to grow than a single tree.
