It has been a few days, so here are some more Mastodon/Twitter updates. "Evan Prodromou talks about creating ActivityPub, his complicated feelings about Mastodon, and opportunities for developers in the fediverse... it gets really interesting when you start talking about web apps that interact with each other." Vivaldi, for example, is a web browser that has an integrated fediverse instance accessed through a side panel. Similarly, link browser extensions are available for Chrome and Firefox.
Martha Burtis, meanwhile, talks about scuttling away to Mastodon, though I think the concerns about Eugen "Gargron" Rochko ("a 25-year-old German programmer of Russian and Jewish heritage") are misplaced. Related: Doug Belshaw on fediverse governance processes. Also, protection for Mastodon instances, needed because some "have come under cyber-attack recently by state-level actors." Also, "Where listening didn't really happen in Twitter, it does in Mastodon," says Miguel Guhlin. And oh yeah, Twitter is having trouble paying employees on time, reports Ars Technica. Finally, a huffduffed "chat with Matthias Pfefferle and Tim Nolte about the WP, Mastodon, and the Indie Web" (huffduffer is a service that converts YouTube videos to audio; I've used it and can recommend it).
