Bridges & The Last Network Effect
We don't have to enclose ourselves in walls of our own making or force users to understand the nuances of every platform and protocol. It's time to give people tools that empower them to make decision...

I wrote about the importance of tools that bring different platforms and protocols together and how I believe that's the future of an open social web owned by people, not platforms.

When someone asks why I keep working on the open social web when normal users don't care about protocols
![An image from the 2021 movie Dune.
- The image shows a person (specifically, the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, played by Charlotte Rampling) with a net-like veil over their face.
- An overlaid caption reads: [Our plans are measured in centuries], a quote from the character in the film.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xgvzy7ni6ig6ievcbls5jaxe/bafkreiexwkrww2tt4ww6rlgs2q3drqfvhbv5zqqtlftiw6jv543jxyekw4@jpeg)

With centralized social media platforms, users can only push for change by lobbying companies or governments.
@jay.bsky.team, CEO of @bsky.app, explains why open social is about giving people the tools to build solutions themselves, rather than just asking for them.
Ep with @rabble.nz, out now.

You may have seen in the tech memesphere that Rob Pike is furious that he received an email from a poorly-designed AI agent complimenting his work
I’d just like to say, what goes around comes around
Not tagging him 🙃

Also the site of the hilarious 1989 practical joke in which Rob Pike and Dennis Ritchie pranked their boss, Nobel Prize winner Arno Penzias, into thinking they had invented an AI with the help of Penn & Teller

It is surprising to me that none of the major platforms have actual _parental control_ features so that we can limit the amount of time that our parents can spend online, and which apps they’re allowed to use. I don’t worry about my teenager’s use of the internet at all, just my octogenarian dad’s.
