Social media platforms are walled gardens.🌳

But we must go above & beyond.🆙

Freedom architecture empowers the people to choose & move without loss.✅

Great to share the #TaiwanModel🇹🇼 & more with the Civil Rights Defenders in Sweden.🇸🇪

Blessings for the dialogue.🙏

What would a 100% Canadian social media platform look like?

The team at @gandersocial.bsky.social is about to find out. By giving Canadians control over their data, their feeds, and more, they’re hoping to offer a viable alternative for American social media.

Bluesky loves links — we don’t downrank or deprioritize posts with links in them, and as a result they get higher traffic, so lots of people post them.
oh my god there are so many links here

how these social media platforms all look the same, are designed, aiming for the same intent, even bluesky

that’s what bothers me the most, all the same, the algorithm's whim in the hand of whoever in charge for whatever reason & purpose

I've wanted versioning on my digital garden for ages. Felt like a critical missing piece.

Making my own dreams come true over here.

Hard but fun to design this. These aren't automatically generated – I intentionally decide when to make new versions. Not every edit = new version. Only major updates

Today, I'm retiring my email newsletter and doubling down on RSS. Some call this 1990s news format old-fashioned; I say it's the future.
My blog post at jordanmechner.com explains why.

"algorithmic choice" is one of my favorite principles at @bsky.app.

most social platforms decide what you see. we think you should have control when you want it.

Custom Feeds are a step toward that vision — what do you like about them today? what feels clunky or missing?

For a while it felt like the entire web was moving toward big centralized platforms — but as subscription businesses grow we consistently see that people want to run their own platform & have full control

Bullish on publishers using Ghost, and the future of open, shared infrastructure more broadly.

When writing was first invented, it was critiqued as likely to create the “illusion of wisdom” - because people would no longer bother to memorize knowledge.

What happens when we invent tools?

We adapt, and we evolve.
We’ve already seen one major tech-driven culture shift from the pre-internet era to a swipe-and-stream generation hooked on instant gratification and app convenience.

When AI is always-on and omnipresent, what behavioral rewiring comes next? What happens when thinking itself feels too hard?
