I've been building around WordPress to create a social network based on RSS. I want to get out of being controlled by billionaire-owned sites. I have a feeling we may need a good backup given where we are now.

- This is what it was like when google first dominated the RSS reader market then shut its product down, forcing all news to flow through VC-backed silos like Twitter and Facebook. Reporters weren't covering tech with a cynical eye back then, this blew right by them. cc @hcrichardson.bsky.social

- Reposted by Dave WinerWe have a tremendous oversupply of would-be parade leaders, we need to build momentum, and it doesn’t really matter what it is or who leads it. As long as it’s something the press can cover. A movement that begets more motion. A huge march in DC. Demonstrations at Tesla dealers.
