  1. "But social media universalised the issue. It made the world into a road and everyone else into passing cars. Just as you’re more likely to honk your horn and shout unspeakable things when a faceless figure in a metal box cuts you off in traffic, you’re more inclined to deliver a dehumanising screed of obscenities when someone is just an avatar saying annoying things."

  2. Pretty cool to be at Hollywood Avondale packed full of David Farrier's Webworm Newsletter subscribers for a complimentary screening of the original Jurassic Park on 35mm film.

  3. Just catching up on a Webworm newsletter I'd been saving for a few days. You've not heard of #Webworm? Have a look (listen) here: webworm.co/p/webwormarisepodca

  4. @joshua_drummond @pluralistic I love when I get my #Webworm email and really enjoyed this thoughtful article this morning. I knew #Twitter was broken and toxic, but I didn't realise the extent until I joined #mastodon.

    I've had nothing but kind and thoughtful engagement with people here - without being bombarded with advertising or "suggested" (often hateful) posts. But it's more than that - there is a constant undertone and rewarding of rage that I'm pleased to be leaving behind.

  5. A big piece on how the #Fediverse is reclaiming a lot of the important concepts that got corrupted by crypto. I wrote this for David Farrier’s #Webworm and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It leans on @pluralistic’s work, with #ChokepointCapitalism, plus a lot else. I’d be fascinated to know what people who’ve been around here a long time make of the piece, as I’m still very new to the whole #decentralized #federated media thing! open.substack.com/pub/webworm/

  6. "Unlike InfoWars which screams at you in loud colours — with plenty of dietary supplement advertisements shoved down your throat — sites like the Daily Telegraph are a little more subtle. A little less obvious."
