I've talked a lot about the need for Exit from big social platforms. The good news is Exit and interoperability exist today, if you know where to look! In this week's Platformocracy, I go on a whirlwind tour of technologies and projects that make this possible. Here are a few to know. 1/6
Exit and Interoperability Exist Today, If You Know Where To Look
Outside the big walled gardens, the open social web is making Exit and interoperability a reality. I review a few projects that I’m excited about, and where I think they could take us next.

I've just published the lexicons for @frontpage.fyi!
For anybody that has tooling that creates Frontpage records I'd recommend to switch over to these now

Ok so @netnewswire.com is OSS right. Who wants to make it natively compatible with @leaflet.pub and even allow commenting on posts within the app?

I love bookmarklets but my only gripe with them was that they are hard to use in @zen-browser.app. Not anymore!
If you hit ⌘ ⇧ B, the bookmarks bar will 'show' and then you can get to it by hovering the top of the window! 🧑🏻🍳💋🤌🏻

As a design principle, we should represent what a record is accurately. It would be deceiving to render a monomark bookmark as a Semble card (unless you had copied the external record into a new Semble card). An example of this is Popfeed shows bookhive records, but it is unclear which are which.

@davidpierce.xyz the question about agentic shopping at the end of this last vergecast had me thinking. We could totally do distributed stores with global shopping on the AT protocol. A lexicon for a storefront and items could be globally relayed, filtered into feeds, all the goods

CSS has flamethrowers now. Where are your gods, JS dorks!

Lowest setting. CSS powered flamethrower!
Yes, it is really controlled by CSS. I can add MIDI inputs. Then use CSS to trigger animations and output the result to DMX for controlling the flamethrower.
