Pamela Wisniewski, a researcher who studies how teens and parents navigate online life, tells @rabble that when kids see something inappropriate online, the answer isn’t to take away their device. It’s to turn it into a teachable moment around digital safety. Ep out now.

Pamela Wisniewski studies how teens use the internet, & says we’ve failed to make spaces for kids to just be kids online. One idea is to create kids-only spaces with trusted moderators, rather than restrictive age verifications that lock them out of all social media. Ep out now

Pamela Wisniewski, researcher at UC Berkeley-affiliated ICSI, says we shouldn’t hand teens the keys to the internet w/out proper training. How do you think we should teach teens digital literacy and online safety? At home, in school, or both? Ep w @rabble & @pamwis out now.

Our host, @rabble, joined @mmasnick on the Techdirt podcast to talk about the history and future of decentralized social media. Listen to “An Insider’s View Of Decentralized Social Media” on @techdirt, or wherever you get your podcasts:

Our host, @rabble, reflects on how AI has changed what it means to be a great programmer. It’s no longer about how early you started coding or memorization, it’s about how creatively you can build. Full episode out now.

Last week, journalist @jeffjarvis joined @rabble to discuss the challenges of decentralized platforms like Mastodon. Freedom online sounds great, until you have to run the servers yourself. The solution? Open protocols that share responsibility across communities. Ep out now.

Jeff Jarvis held the #BlackTwitterSummit before leaving CUNY, where he saw how a community claimed a platform that wasn’t built for them. That spirit continues with platforms like Blacksky, aiming to give communities the power to shape platforms on their own terms. Ep out now.

Journalist and author Jeff Jarvis says Bluesky isn’t yet as open as it should be to ensure true user freedom. That’s why @rabble created the Social Media Bill of Rights, to push platforms toward real decentralization. Full episode out now.

This week, @jeffjarvis, author of “The Web We Weave”, joins @rabble to discuss how modern attempts to clamp down on the internet are nothing new. From Section 230 to AI, he explains why openness, not control, is key to protecting the internet. Out now:

At 2389 Research, @harper’s team builds AI with a people-first mindset. Instead of racing ahead, they ask how innovation will affect work, labor, and community. They aim to make their impact more human than harmful. Ep with @rabble, out now.
