Still, I'm not very interested in playing with bots (except Slackbot) but this story is good read http://www.niemanlab.org/2017/04/this-is-how-the-new-york-times-is-using-bots-to-create-more-one-to-one-experiences-with-readers

The Future of Free Speech, Trolls, Anonymity and Fake News Online
Good piece from @sargoth about building communities, about "cyberoptimish", and about doing something a bit different within Mastodon - https://medium.com/@sargoth/mastodon-pineapples-social-media-and-other-unanswered-questions-c5127c7c9aa0
I understand my social bookmarks as reading recommandations for others and I'm happy that my favorit service Refind.com now offers feeds for this. Wrote a short blog post (in GER) on it. The bookmarks are in GER and EN, topics are tech, politics, online communication.

Ethical Design Manifesto

Respect:

• Human rights
• Human effort
• Human experience

https://ind.ie/ethical-design

There's an app for that: Using Mastodon with #Amaroq now which is working really fine.
The fact that the only info required from Mastodon to create an account is an email address - means there's limited chance of the platform being turned into an advertising platform. Like Facebook.
btw.: Found this article by @seanbonner on Mastodon very helpful https://medium.com/@seanbonner/taking-a-ride-on-mastodon-4fe0c6e60e04

So more and more people seem to get confused by Facebook and its new functions. To me it sounds like Facebook has a serious problem to keep its users active. Guess, many of them feel similar like I do: The platform seems more and more a waste of time and the algorithm is making things even worse. So I'm curious where playing with Mastodon will lead to.
