Instead, they’re doing the work that arguably has been most critical all along: building direct connections with their readers. @404mediaco@mastodon.social's @jasonkoebler@mastodon.social and @ProPublica@newsie.social's @ben@werd.social join fediverse futurist @mike@flipboard.social for a conversation about the discovery and sustainability of quality journalism.

ICYMI! @mike@flipboard.social's Dot Social interview with @jay.bsky.team@bsky.brid.gy came out earlier this week. They discussed the early days of Bluesky, innovating on social identity, and the benefits of an open social graph. "That right of free connection and communication is something that I think we've really lost in the world where there's just a few large companies that allow or deny interoperability, depending on how it serves their business interests," Graber said.

Bluesky founder and CEO Jay Graber says social media is stagnating because "we're in this trap where users are locked in and developers are locked out. She talked to @mike@flipboard.social for the Dot Social podcast about building a healthier internet, how Elon impacted Bluesky's trajectory, innovating on social identity, and how different protocols can come together.

The Social Web Foundation launched today. This non-profit is dedicated to making connections between social platforms with ActivityPub, and was co-founded by @evan@cosocial.ca @mallory@techpolicy.social and @tomcoates@me.dm. The foundation's focus is educating the public and policy makers about the social web, enhancing and extending the ActivityPub protocol, and building tools and plumbing to make the social web easier to use. “With this program, The Social Web Foundation can catalyze more growth on the Fediverse while improving user experience and safety,” says Prodromou. “Our goal is to unblock users, developers and communities so they can get the most out of their social web experience.” We are proud to support the work of the foundation.
