Why we need to build our own social home on the #ooensocialweb…. “On X since 2020 engagement saw a "72% shift to the right, which is just insane." And humans posting on X & FB "dropped by 50%" with huge "botification of those platforms" arstechnica.com/science/2026...

RIP social media. What comes next is messy.

As social media splinters, how can we keep the new online spaces from devolving into toxic pits of despair?

Organized a #reticulum workshop at @c-base.org yesterday. It was really eye-opening. We came for the LoRa nodes but got sucked into the rabbit hole that opened up in front of us once we realized what we were looking at. It truly feels like 1990, a new internet with security and privacy built-in.
