Eugen (gargron)'s status on Friday, 13-Dec-2019 02:24:38 UTC Eugen So the Verge article for which I wrote some thoughts about Jack Dorsey announcing #Bluesky is out and it used only a few sentences from what I came up with, so I wanna share the full thing...
I was asked, if Twitter did indeed adopt #ActivityPub instead of coming up with something new, would it be better or worse for the decentralized social web?

Eugen (gargron)'s status on Saturday, 17-Nov-2018 10:45:36 UTC Eugen Good morning! Deactivated my personal Twitter account yesterday. And deleted the Mastodon fan page on Facebook, along with the temporary account I had created for it ☺️

Eugen (gargron)'s status on Tuesday, 06-Nov-2018 10:56:23 UTC Eugen I feel like I don't explicitly state this often enough, but I want to see a future where most people are on federated social networks. Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, etc, instead of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Eugen (gargron)'s status on Wednesday, 17-Oct-2018 21:01:47 UTC Eugen The upcoming version of Mastodon (2.6) will have improved support for so-called circles (a group of recipients that is less than all your followers)
Mastodon itself does not implement circles, mind you, but e.g. Hubzilla does, and any ActivityPub server could.
Prior to this patch, such messages would appear as DMs with a large number of recipients in Mastodon. After the patch, they will appear just like normal private posts.

Eugen (gargron)'s status on Saturday, 01-Sep-2018 17:44:51 UTC Eugen @jalcine The main point isn't whether the target deserved it, but how it was possible to accomplish. The internet went after many undeserving targets in the past, and will do so in the future.

Eugen (gargron)'s status on Friday, 24-Aug-2018 12:47:17 UTC Eugen Please don't demand content warnings from strangers. Content warnings are a sort of social contract between an author and their followers; if you are not happy with how someone chooses to use them, do not follow that person or outright mute them, or mute words.
One of the most alienating experiences on Mastodon I've observed is when someone posts about something they're passionate about or is part of their identity and the first response is "please cw that" from a complete stranger.
Thanks
