I am DNP-Kids this week, so @tomhaberstroh.bsky.social found an impressive up-and-comer to fill in for me on THE BIG NUMBER: Guy by the name of Brian Windhorst.

Unfortunately no but if you have a mastodon account you can link that and follow Pixelfed accounts. Sounds like you want linking to your pixelfed account?

We support following Pixelfed users, what kind of support are you looking for?

For @flashes.blue, that looks like a bluesky account .. does it not work? If not, how so?

The flashes app seems to work on image/video content, surf can do the same ... mark your feed to support only those types.

➑️ My 2025 Open Social Web Prediction Score Card: before I try my hand at predictions for the Open Social Web in 2026, I try to do a sober look back at my 2025 predictions and how they did.

See what you think.

The fediverse is on maintenance mode
Threads still supports federation with other apps like Mastodon, but Hayes was clear that it’s not a top priority for the current roadmap. β€œIt’s something that we’re supporting, it’s something that we’re maintaining, but it’s not the thing that we’re talking about that’s gonna help the app break out,” he said.
β€œAs someone who has built a zillion consumer products, it’s just really hard to keep these divergent platforms and products consistent on the same protocol over time,” he explained. β€œThere’s always going to be the trade-offs that these companies are thinking about of how much energy do I want to pour into compatibility with this ecosystem versus iterating on this thing I’m building and seeing what’s valuable.”

Ah that's crazy, it's almost like Threads picked up the decentralization messaging when they launched so they could neutralize the Atmosphere

A great read from Werner, right on the mark:

"... lowering the barrier for entry doesn’t eliminate the need for human expertise, it amplifies it. ... if you put garbage in, you get really convincing garbage out."

It would appear I am done (vibe) coding for today ... probably should have saved a copy of my work before asking #ai to modularize the file as it is currently only half done.

Trump Orders Nuclear Testing As Nuke Workers Go Unpaid Everyone loses and nobody wins if America decides to resume nuclear testing after a 30 year moratorium.

Last night Trump directed the Pentagon to start testing nukes again. If that happens, it’ll be the first time the US has detonated a nuke in more than 30 years.

Sooo, I built an NBA feed on @surf.social that grabs posts from Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon… plus podcasts, YouTube clips, and RSS drops. All in one place. Strictly hoop.

And, if you wanna check it out, you can pin a version of it here on Bluesky.

I guess decentralized social is kinda cool 😎.
