My dot is experiencing burnout.

It’s crazy to me that there’s no instructions on how to unblock my Dot. I dug around in my account to see if there was some option to upgrade my plan or purchase some credits and it’s completely unclear to me if any of that will help.

I've added endpoints to my website to follow Caleb's new SocialSpec APIs - feed, following, about, and contact. Interested to see where this goes.

How often do you fill out social profiles for your contacts?

Social media is the comments section of the internet.

How much of the dynamics around social media engagement would change if the reply button was off by default, and seeing the reply button enabled meant the author of that post actually *wanted* feedback? 🤔

HyperTexting uses terms like “news feed” and “for you feed” instead of RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, or OPML. Laura Hazard Owen writes for Nieman Lab about the app’s open web experiment.

It's a bummer when well established internet personalities you have previously looked up to decide to post uninformed dunks on your work. 🙅🏽‍♂️ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In case it wasn't obvious, I always have been and always will be an advocate for #RSS! 📈 calebhailey.com/blog/the-chi...

@jola.dev I noticed a small typo (maybe?) in your excellent "The social contract of writing" blog post: "The very fact that the author reduced the effort they made to [product] the content is a violation of the social contract." Did you mean "produce"? Cheers 🍻 jola.dev/posts/the-so...

I've spent the last 5 years trying and failing to convince my friends & family to escape the algorithm. But I couldn't find the right setup that met them where they were: scrolling a timeline that looks & feels like social media. So I built that. I hope y'all will give it a try! hypertexting.com
