Twitter not removing hateful posts from subscribed users, study finds.
I'm starting to post links to Masto on Twitter, and links to Twitter on Bluesky. All combos. I realized I was, in my mind, assuming these were silos. That's not a good limit to impose, doesn't work in our interests, as users and developers.
Top Podcast Hosting Companies by Episode Share (May 2023).
Spam is one thing, but spam that assumes I have a living father is another altogether.
Twitter requires organizations to pay to be verified. It actually makes sense. This was a service they previously provided for free, but they were not a profitable company. Other companies should share in the expense.

Karl, about Tom: “You’re a clumsy interloper and no one trusts you. The only guy pulling for you is dead. And now, you’re just married to the ex-boss’ daughter, and she doesn’t even like you. And you are fair and squarely fucked.”
The NYT is shameless, but at least they're not calling them podcasts.
"Dark Star is always playing somewhere. All we do is tap into it."
Bluesky People Browser
I'm playing with ideas of how to browse around a network of followers on a social media platform. Bluesky is the first that I've had an OPML interface to work with. So I created an outliner for walking the structure of people and who they follow on Bluesky.

“The Great” on Hulu is fantastic. A comedy about Russian empress Catherine the Great. There’s a new season out.
A nice thing about Bluesky is that everyone has about the same small number of followers, which suggests that perhaps follower count should not be in the UI. Wondering what other features turn up the heat too much and should be similarly treated.
It might not be possible to de-Nazify social nets like Twitter, Mastodon or Bluesky -- yet that seems to be what users want.

WordPress first shipped 20 years ago today. Thanks for keeping the blogging flame going, and thanks for supporting RSS and the open web. 😀
This is what a linkblog looked like in 2011. Remarkable how no progress has been made in all this time. We were pretty much blocked in every direction.
We're going to have to figure out moderation for ourselves. Waiting for the tech companies to figure this out -- they are very limited as we have learned.
A house for sale on the Hudson River. Thought people reading my linkblog might find this interesting. 😀

Andy, looking forward to the reworking of MyStatusTool. I need to get back in the saddle as well. I'm going to add enclosure support and work out auto-deletion of old files when the corresponding message drops off.
Almost. He mentions that it should be to "start a record" and "go back through the chain of thought", also "long-lived special-purpose communication apps". MST is semi-ephemeral so doesn't entirely qualify.
I've been thinking to myself that I need to get back to this as well. I still haven't added enclosure support, must get round to that soon.
Agreed. Radio 3 definitely doesn't seem to be sending pings. I don't get any here or to /reader.
I found the problem: I wasn't accounting for things like apostrophes in feed names so it was breaking the link.
Receiving you loud and clear. But for some reason couldn't reply - a glitch preventing me using the reply arrow on the first item. Will investigate tomorrow.

Changes to subscribed items are now updated in items.csv and reflected in the timeline. See the changelog.
I've never received a ping from the WordPress blog either, I'm not sure it's sending the notifications.
Now spotted another issue where updates to posts aren't being fed through properly. 🙄
Spotted an issue with the subscription endpoint so will fix it later.
Done!
Just checking the feed is getting rebuilt correctly with the new cloud info.
