Checked in on the Forkiverse
/public/local == "Live Feed"
for the first time in a very, very long time
Months, probably
Clinging to 1,036 Active Viewers according to their own stats and according to mastodon.fediverse.observer
Still virtually no #Hashtag usage
Still no apparent participation with the outer #Mastodon / #Fediverse at large
Running on Mastodon v4.5.9 despite all the "forky" nonsense
It's a "fork" of nothing
ho hum...

Very glad to see the #HardFork and SearchEngine podcast Fediverse community the #Forkiverse server continuing to thrive. So they are at 10,000 or so registered users, and hovering at a healthy 1.4 thousand of those as monthly active users. That tracks to normal rates on social. And the conversations are active and growing. I think I underestimated the power of focused, topic-based server communities on the fediverse. 🧵 1/2

So @kevin and @Casey I’m listening to latest #hardfork where you ask what the AI companies could do to improve public standing. I think you already hit on it in the conversation: Currently, they publish toothless utopian white papers about theoretical “solutions” that will never fly in today’s politics, while lobbying against regulation and donating to conservative anti-regulation pols. How about heavily funding actual pro-regulation and UBI proposals and pols. I.e. put money where mouth is.

This conversation between Ezra Klein and Jack Clark of Anthropic is well worth your time.

Listening to the recent #Hardfork #podcast episode which featured a segment on the rise of AI slop taking over YouTube Kids with grotesque alphabet songs, I get to feel smug/grateful that my son is more into his Yoto player than screens. Here is one of his favourite songs to listen to, which is both funny and educational! @kevin @Casey

AFAIK the terms 'soft fork' and 'hard fork' entered the lexicon from the crypto world, where they refer to software changes that split a blockchain into sub-chains. With a soft fork, the sub-chains remain interoperable. A hard fork makes them incompatible; what IRC greyhairs might call a 'netsplit'.
But AFAICT, these terms have since been repurposed by others to refer to something similar but different; 2 ways of forking any Free Code software project.
(1/?)

LOL @ the latest #HardFork podcast where Kevin explains regulatory capture exactly backward.

Songs with titles that do not appear in the lyrics? Idea from the recent #hardfork podcast. Answered with #RStats :
https://datannery.com/posts/finding-song-titles-that-do-not-appear-in-the-lyrics/* Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
* Clint Eastwood - Gorillaz
* Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
* Fluorescent Adolescent - Arctic Monkeys
* ....Can you come up with more?

Listening to the current #hardfork episode. I really hope Anthropic continues to refuse the military what it is asking for.
While I’m leery of AI, I appreciate the ways in which Anthropic has tried to stick to their principles unlike other AI companies.
What are others thinking about this episode?

Observation Of The Day (OOTD):
Seems the hyper-popular #Forkiverse bubble may be...
what's the word I'm looking for here?
...leaking just a tad
Today's Server stats: 6.5K active users
which is down from the peak I ever saw, somewhere in the low 9K range IIRC...

“The worst place is at the fork. You can’t keep going the same direction as you came. You have to choose one or other path. Whatever the choice, at least, it is movement. Otherwise, you are just forking around getting nowhere.”

"Then there are experiments, with random assignment, that show that if you get off social media for at least a week depression gets less."
#JonathanHaidt, 2026
Curious to know how "social media" is being defined here. People are clearly being negatively impacted by *something*. But it is being online, having a pocket PC, or using apps? Or is it being manipulated by algorithms, and force fed ads that engage by being irritating?

So…. When you come to a HARD Fork 🍴 in the road always take the left path.

Once upon a time I was a PhD candidate at a top philosophy program in the US and let me tell you, I met so many brilliant people with absolute wack beliefs. #forkiverse #hardfork

*thrilled* ro learn that the ai models are reading all my mean comments about them and feeling hurt! #forkiverse #hardfork

Note to the #hardfork hosts: when talking about the Fediverse it would be good to mention how that's spelled. The first 10 or 20 times I heard the term I thought it was "Fetaverse" and I figured it must be a community of Greek food enthusiasts.

Gave AI agentic vibe coding a shot and it didn't go well. 😞 (I'll reframe from saying which platform.)
I asked it to make me a perfect Kombucha-like beverage. The vibe agent said no problem! It required control of my PC, my bio-chem assembler and bank account (with sum limits).
Cool beans I thought! I LOVE me a good Kombucha, and gave it full access. I went out to buy some paper towels and came back to this!File size: 50kB

#HardFork listeners are city dwellers and #SearchEngine listeners rural? I'm a long time listener to both podcasts but my habitat is strictly urban. Any other #autistic members of the #forkiverse?

Hello from the newly founded forkiverse! My name is Zach and I live in Springfield, Missouri. I am very excited to be a part of this experiment for however long it lasts.
As requested, this is where I was when I learned about #theforkiverse from #searchengine and #hardfork. Cheers!

@ewen
I can report back that I have listened to the whole #HardFork / #SearchEngine episode and it *is* worth finishing. Sure, it could have been better if instead of making it an experiment to run their own vibe-coded instance, they just signed up for accounts on existing instances, but I still find it encouraging that the #Fediverse is being talked about more widely. It takes me back to the time (showing my age) when the Internet was new, and URLs were only understood by geeks (of which I am one) and I saw one written in its full glory (http://…) on the side of a rally car at a Motorsport event. That rocked my world, and I knew right there and then that the Internet would go mainstream. Will the Fediverse also go mainstream (and what challenges would that bring), or will it be forever in the same bucket as the year of #LinuxOnTheDesktop? -
@stenskott it’s like the early days of the internet/instant messaging. I’m following certain hashtags — #vibecoding #hardfork #claudecode — and connecting with people on projects

So.. I just listened to the most recent episode of #HardFork #podcast and couldn’t help but notice that in the 3rd segment of the episode (where they discuss #forkiverse updates with @pj from #searchengine ) they mention that they were surprised to see some listeners were “woodworkers in British Columbia” and I was like.. wait a minute; are they referencing me or is there a crew of people constantly covered in sawdust here that I’m unaware of?
If so: Please make yourself known!

Hey #Forkiverse! 👋 Here for the #HardFork vibes.
Tech marketing at Microsoft by day (Surface AI stuff). Running local LLMs on a beast home server by night and calling it #VibeCoding when things accidentally work.
#ChappellRoan stan. Three kids in various launch stages. Two doodles who run the house.
Most urgently: #Seahawks fan heading into the NFC Championship with full delusion and zero chill. 🏈 #GoHawks

@cazabon check out the podcasts Search Engine and Hard Fork. The hosts are friends/nerds and just did episodes about federated social media and they made the #forkiverse for listeners that wanted a wading pool to get their threads/X/Facebook/tiktok hating toes wet with Mastoverse juice #searchenginepodcast #hardfork

My Friday listening for years has been #hardfork and #vergecast. Now it's #hardfork , #searchengine , and #vergecast.

Whoops! I forgot to include a picture of where I first heard about #thefediverse and #theforkiverse whilst listening to #hardfork and #searchengine. Here we have my absolutely unhinged, tiny workspace/studio inside our yurt in Northern, Ontario, Canada #notmariekondo

#Forkiverse, an experiment:
#HardFork: "I think we should start a social media platform on the Fediverse.
In the Fediverse?
Is it on or in?
Anyway, we'll find out along the way.
But wait, why do you want to?
What will be the point?#Forkizens…as someone who really truly has become almost Amish in my dislike of #socialmedia internet, with you guys, what would it be like to try to make a clubhouse that has rules that actually feel healthier?"

@some_rando my current lineup is search engine (obviously), #hardfork, #hyperfixed, #oologies, and #theweirdestthingilearnedthisweek!

Wild turn of events: the Hard Fork crew (@kevin, @Casey) + P.J. Vogt ( @pj) from Search Engine spun up their own Mastodon instance (https://theforkiverse.com/) to help fix the internet. 🤯 Last time I heard Kevin and Casey talk Mastodon, it wasn’t exactly love. Glad they changed tune—now let’s funnel folks into the damn Fediverse and make it weird again. #Fediverse #Mastodon #HardFork #SearchEngine #FixTheInternet
