‘We can be multiple #people, over multiple channels, even at the same time. There are so many ways to exist #online that we don’t have to be ourselves anymore at all.’ https://qz.com/1581443/the-philosophy-behind-why-social-media-makes-us-feel-lonely/
'Instead of creating new social networks with their own economic system, #token, #blockchain, etc. you can directly use the already existing #socialmedia platforms just by installing a simple #browser #extension that adds a (tippin.me) button.' https://link.medium.com/bQjLY7W6oV

Three protocols and a future of the decentralized internet
"software developers should not be afraid to mix, match, and layer protocols. There is no rule that says you can't do this, yet I've noticed people picking one protocol and sticking to it out of some kind of loyalty. When really, as a developer, your loyalty should be to your values of an open, decentralized internet, whatever those are"

It's my pet theory that the availability of the Twitter-to-Mastodon cross-poster has harmed Mastodon's adoption by giving people an easy way to change nothing about their social media habits, and pretend like they have checked out Mastodon without ever being here.
Every time I bring this up I get responses à la "not all cross-posters!" and well, if you don't think it's about you, don't make it about you
