101: Cruisin’ on the Redwood Highway

Like 'em or hate 'em, the BBC is here and has joined the fediverse. In this episode I talk about what this means and more broadly why it's a good thing to see another large news organization launch their own Mastodon instance. And on the Fusion+ segment I talk all about Elon's new social network called X. Pour one out for Twitter folks. The bird is gone.

Show Notes

Like ‘em or hate ‘em, the BBC is here and has joined the fediverse. In this episode I talk about what this means and more broadly why it’s a good thing to see another large news organization launch their own Mastodon instance—even while I fully defend other instance admins’ right to defederate due to content moderation policies. And on the Fusion+ segment—available for free today!—I talk all about Elon’s new social network called X. Pour one out for Twitter folks. The bird is gone.
