@andrewsharp @benthompson I assume whatever Meta releases will be more user friendly than mastodon, and immediately mass market, unlike Bluesky. It continues to feel like a smart move by Meta to me, so would appreciate renewed discussion here.

@andrewsharp Ok, @andrewsharp, wanted to resurface this convo. Seems like Meta is indeed going after Twitter’s broadcast social media space. Any updates reflections from you or @benthompson on this play?
Meta is planning to release its Twitter competitor in mid July, I’m told. It will eventually hook into Mastodon/ActivityPub but not at first. https://t.co/5HanikWOat

So excited to collaborate with Pennsylvania as this team gets stood up!

“In 1947, Hopper famously identified the first computer ‘bug’ when she traced a Mark I glitch back to a moth that was caught in a relay wire, shorting out a circuit…and inspiring the term ‘debugging’ used ever since for solving problems with a computer program’s execution”-@erie

Thanks for addressing this on the podcast, @andrewsharp! That was super fun to listen to. I think WhatsApp is an interesting candidate to expand into broadcast functionality.

If a lot of individuals and advertisers are looking for a new town square, I can’t think of another company better positioned to meet that need fast, either through changes to the Facebook app, or with a new standalone offering under the Meta umbrella.

An amazing opportunity for tech-industry workers in Colorado to do meaningful work. Reach out if you have questions about my experience, but it was one of the best opportunities of my life. I highly endorse this concept and the team involved here in particular.

.@TheOnion filed a real amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in a case about parodies, and the first paragraph of the brief is just magnificent. https://t.co/fxN3oDnbmD

So impressed by @molliebradlee @chadgeidel and the team for this great work. Two years ago, a child case worker had to call us to tell us the system was down. We've come a long way.
A must-read for any government team dealing with legacy software. In this blog post the Trails team that supports child welfare cases in the state shares lessons to move from red to green by taking a deep look at people, processes, and technology. https://t.co/djvMv38DZc
