Had a great conversation with @mike on the history of the hashtag, why Elon is wrong about it, the future of social networks (vis a vis #ActivityPub, #ATProto, etc), and how LLMs may intersect with social media moderation.
This was a good one.

@chrismessina@mastodon.xyz sounds like a great episode! Can't wait.
@chrismessina @mike@flipboard.social IMHO, BlueSky is the Netscape of the openweb. Bursting on to the scene with plenty of promise but no plan on how to keep the lights on. They're damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they accept venture money (which they already have) they're captured. If they don't, the weight of the growing user base puts them out of business. I don't think their future is in the openweb.
