@matt took some time to talk about the origins behind @write_as , where it's headed, and what he's learned along the way in building usable software for creative expression. Thanks to everyone for backing our mission and making the project more than we could've imagined!

@april Yep, that's right -- we're aimed at writing first, but we don't want to make everyone split up their posts across instances if they don't want to. Plus, new art might inspire some writing here, or the other way around. So please feel free to share your art!

Thanks for helping out, @mara_cav_!

@sean Yep, once you point it to the Actors you want to announce and then start up the server, you'll be able to follow that the Pherephone account from your Pleroma account.

@sean We built Pherephone for this: github.com/writeas/pherephone

Would love to hear if it works for you / what you think, if you try it out!

@sfssm @schmittlauch @dansup For me it's the kind of incentives VC creates for the companies it produces, and what that means for users (usually nothing good, in the end).

VC rarely produces open protocols and ecosystems like ActivityPub. But it LOVES moonshots like "decentralize Twitter by building on the blockchain."

"Some of what's truly good for us is bad for them. So let's not rely on them to tell us when we finally have privacy, or digital wellbeing, or whatever will comfort the masses today. We know what real privacy feels like, even online. All we have to do is acknowledge what we've lost and take the smallest of steps to reclaim it."

@ingehygd Hmm, very weird... Searching for the handle doesn't work for me either, but searching for the URL works. I'll take a look.

Either way, now it'll show up: @ingehygd
