OvercastWelcome, Stitcher users!
I started Overcast ten years ago in large part because I was afraid of Stitcher taking over the market with its proprietary walled garden (which was even more walled at the time, and was gaining significant traction).
I wanted to ensure that the open world of podcasting survived and thrived, even when faced with strong proprietary threats.
The names and players have changed since then, and the battle continues, but open podcasting remains dominant and healthy today.
David PierceThis Talk Show episode with @gruber and @christianselig is deep and thorough and interesting on Reddit and so many other topics, one of my favorite eps in a while https://daringfireball.net/thetalkshow/2023/06/17/ep-379
Will ClarkEvery time you hear the Reddit CEO talking about how they need to become profitable, remember they raised $250m and then spent the last couple years building this: https://nft.reddit.com
Twitter learned, and Reddit is fast learning, that people are not addicted to the platform, they’re addicted to the community they found there. Ruin the community, and people will leave the platform. It really is that simple.
Craig HockenberryI’m betting that tomorrow afternoon, Twitter will will work as well as full self driving.
Christian GrobmeierI have discovered @NetNewsWire recently. I can add a #Mastodon user #RSS feed to it. That way, I can mute them on my timeline and read their (many) posts in batch. It's a great way for me to keep up to date on news.
I can also unfollow many Twitter users now, because I can subscribe to their website feeds (like with Japan Times).
For me, the perfect companion to Mastodon. Free and #opensource too: https://netnewswire.com/
Thanks a lot NNW, you will be on my devices for a while.
ScalziDon't try to negg me when I'm on top of the world, I have the high ground, motherfucker
