Mike McCue

Every now and then, technologists are able to translate their strongly held beliefs into action for the benefit of society. Sometimes these actions result in new features, apps or platforms but it's especially powerful when this happens at the protocol level.

In the latest episode of Dot Social I talk with @evan about how he helped get started, how it's going, and what he hopes for next. Check it out here.

Flipboard · ActivityPub and the End of Walled Gardens, with Evan Prodromou (Dot Social Podcast) - FlipboardFlipboard CEO Mike McCue interviews Evan Prodromou, a co-author of ActivityPub, the protocol powering the open social web.

@mike @evan
Market Place bit was interesting.
I was listening to The Deprogram Podcast talking about Paetreon last week and was thinking about how the Fediverse could help Creatives take direct payments and do something similar to Partreon but take control over their followers and payments.

@MrLee @evan totally. It would be awesome if patreon federated.

@mike @evan Another excellent interview Mike, loving this podcast. Also, glad to hear you're working on a fedi book, Evan!

@ricmac I haven't listened to the @mmasnick one. Was it good?

@evan @mmasnick yes, he made some good points about Bluesky protocol. I still like ActivityPub better, and it’s been open web from the start. But ideally they will federate in the end. We shall see.

@ricmac ha! Bless his heart. I appreciate your optimism on BS. We'll see!🤞🏼
