Indeed, lets talk for sure...
I was on #dotsocial a long time ago
Last year, @mmccue.bsky.social interviewed her for the #DotSocial podcast, and again at #SXSW. Listen to both conversations here:

Entering a New Phase of the We...
@molly0xfff is one of the most interesting tech critics out there, covering subjects like crypto industry spending in politics, Web3, and the tech industry as a whole with integrity and (sometimes) optimism. She spoke to NiemanLab about her Follow the Crypto site, her love of RSS, migrating from Substack to @ghost, and more. At the second and third links find her DotSocial conversation with @mike and an extract from her Fediverse House presentation at last year's SXSW.

For those who have .social or other premium domains.
How can I be sure, that the registration company is not making a premium domain from 200$ a year to 2000$ a year?
It would be bad, if you think, 200$ a year is fine, and register it and building a community in it, but then it's too high and you still have to pay the 2000$ for it, as you can't lose the community?
Any idea how that works?

@coachtony.bsky.social dug into some of these issues last year when he spoke with @mmccue.bsky.social for the #DotSocial podcast.

Pivoting Out of the Attention ...
With social and search traffic declining, publishers need new ways to connect with readers.
In this #DotSocial episode, @mike talks with @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler and @ProPublica's @ben about the benefits of decentralization.
"I think what's really missing is the human-to-human connection and the human curation ... Our informal tagline is 'by humans for humans.' We really just want someone to look at our stuff and send it to their friends in a group text or talk about it out loud or add it to a stream on the fediverse," Jason says.

How Decentralization Benefits ...
@Mike McCue Of course, this means that you will finally have to feature @Mike Macgirvin ?️, probably the Fediverse's biggest pioneer, on DotSocial.
This man has scratch-made two different Fediverse protocols, DFRN in 2010 and Zot in 2011. And by advancing Zot, he created a third protocol named Nomad in 2021. Thus, he is the only one to ever have created three Fediverse protocols.
He also launched more Fediverse server applications than anyone in one gigantic family tree. Four (!) of them survive to this day, namely Friendica (from 2010), Hubzilla (originally from 2012, but became Hubzilla in 2015), the streams repository (from 2021), Forte (from 2024). Mike still maintains the latter two.
Mike's big contribution to communities on the Social Web is the introduction of federated groups to the Fediverse with Mistpark (today Friendica) in 2010. This includes private groups, groups hidden from directories (directories in the Fediverse are something else that he has pioneered) and moderators in groups.
Mike's big contributions to identity on the Social Web are three-fold.
For starters, Friendica and Hubzilla let you create multiple profiles for the same identity and assign them to certain contacts. This way, you can reveal certain sides of your Fediverse identity only to specific contacts and hide them from the general public.
Besides, the Zot protocol and Red (today Hubzilla) introduced the concept of account-independent, even server-independent identity, so-called "nomadic identity" (https://joinfediverse.wiki/Nomadic_identity, https://opennomad.net). It allows your Fediverse identity, basically what amounts to an account almost everywhere else, to reside on multiple independent Fediverse servers simultaneously and identically, not only going beyond moving between servers, but establishing resilience against sudden server shutdowns. Hubzilla has it, (streams) has it, and Forte is the first Fediverse server application to use only ActivityPub for nomadic identity.
Finally, a byproduct of nomadic identity is that you can have multiple identites ("channels") on the same login that are fully independent from one another. It's like having multiple accounts elsewhere, but actually with only one login, and you can switch between these identities without having to log out and back in again. This, too, is available on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte.

OK! It's identity and communities by a country mile (and in a tie).
Excited to talk about these topics with some great community builders and identity pioneers in the next season of #dotsocial

What drew you to ActivityPub?
This question was asked by @mike@flipboard.social on Dot Social's latest episode about the blogosphere on Fedi.
@johnonolan@mastodon.xyz: "we wanted to connect Ghost blogs to each other, but then we discovered ActivityPub"
@pfefferle@mastodon.social: "we wanted to connect WordPress blogs to each other, and ActivityPub has been the most successful attempt"
[paraphrased for brevity]
Did you catch the subtext? Both those answers, and my own answer with NodeBB contain the same seed idea... that we originally wanted to connect our software with itself only. We went through years of building a company and vying for profitability that it never occurred to us to work towards cross compatibility with anyone besides out own software.
Then ActivityPub came along and quite literally expanded the potential for the entire endeavour a hundred-fold, because not only are you connecting your own software to each other, but every other ActivityPub enabled software in existence. Blogs, microblogs, forums, image boards, etc. all with a built-in user base ready from the get-go.
It's no wonder that after discovering AP, it becomes the protocol to utilise.
Planning out the next season for Dot Social. Who would you most love to hear from? Which topics do you really want us to go deep on? #dotsocial
