Twenty years ago, in August of 2005, Wired founding editor Kevin Kelly wrote “We are the Web” for the magazine. He begins by looking backwards ten years to 1995, a few months before a Netscape IPO would spur the web’s growth. There were, of course, many early adopters who believed in the promise of the web. But far more were critical of the web, believing that without massive consolidation, there would never be enough content or enough commerce to make the web truly viable.

\n\n\n\n

They missed what was right in front of them. The audience.

\n\n\n\n

Kelly next moves to his own present day, the web of 2005. The web he knew at the time didn’t consolidate, it became a place of open creation. He paints with a broad brush, but the pattern is relatively clear. It was the audience, the people using the web, that made it a success. Businesses, websites, and communities that embraced that were the first to succeed.

\n\n\n\n

E-commerce sites like eBay helped prove that point, where it’s users literally created the content. Other platforms leaned into open API’s, which allowed content to spread beyond the walls of any one website and out in the halls of the public web. Forums sprung up on the backs of its contributors, and helped millions find what they were looking for. The open source movement exploded in that time, creating software that stood as the backbone of the web.

\n\n\n\n

At the center of it all was participation. The web would literally be nothing without its audience collectively participating in the act of creation. Through that creation they contributed to what Kelly refers to as the “gift economy,” which “fuels an abundance of choices. It spurs the grateful to reciprocate. It permits easy modification and reuse, and thus promotes consumers into producers.” By 2005, the number of web pages had reached nearly 600 billion.

\n\n\n\n

In no corner of the web was this more apparent than in the blogosphere.

\n\n\n\n
\n

No Web phenomenon is more confounding than blogging. Everything media experts knew about audiences – and they knew a lot – confirmed the focus group belief that audiences would never get off their butts and start making their own entertainment.

\n\n\n\n

[…]

\n\n\n\n

What a shock, then, to witness the near-instantaneous rise of 50 million blogs, with a new one appearing every two seconds. There – another new blog! One more person doing what AOL and ABC – and almost everyone else – expected only AOL and ABC to be doing. These user-created channels make no sense economically. Where are the time, energy, and resources coming from?

\n\n\n\n

The audience.

\n
\n\n\n\n

Blogging was something that nobody could predict. It began in personal sites like Justins Links and Carolines Diary. It spread in reaction to mainstream media and twenty four hour news outlets failing their audience in the uncertain and scary post 9/11 world. This led to political blogs like Instapundit, The Daily Dish, and the Drudge Report, that offered a different kind of reactive and editorialized reporting, often opening up to comments and participation directly from their audience.

\n\n\n\n

Backed by blogging platforms like WordPress, Movable Type, LiveJournal, and Blogger, and catalyzed by the presidential election of 2004, blogging saw a huge rise leading up to Kelly’s piece. At the end of 2004, there were reportedly around 8 million blogs in existence. A year later, at the end of 2005, that number had grown to 30 million. According to some reports, there was anywhere from 30,000 to 70,000 blogs being created every single day.

\n\n\n\n

There weren’t many people who could have predicted how popular and how essential blogging would be at that time. It was everything about the promise of the web, it’s most direct and active form of participation from its users.

\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of his piece, Kelly flashes forward, to the year 2015. He predicts a web powered by open source, fueled entirely by active creators each participating in their own corner of the web. Blogging would continue, and open API’s would lead to an even wider range of possibilities. Some of these are interesting predictions, for instance that operating systems would largely move to the web and power a new wave of AI.

\n\n\n\n

But what he didn’t see coming was that 2005 would also act as a sort of turning point. A final wave of active participation across the open web before people would go indoors, and move their participation into centralized platforms and social media networks that feed proprietary algorithms.

\n\n\n\n

That was twenty years ago. It’s a useful time to reflect on the lessons of 2005 which have, in some ways, been reversed.

\n\n\n\n

There are still a lot of blogs, 600 million by some accounts. But they have been supplanted over the years by social media networks. Commerce on the web has consolidated among fewer and fewer sites. Open source continues to be a major backbone to web technologies, but it is underfunded and powered almost entirely by the generosity of its contributors. Open API’s barely exist. Forums and comment sections are finding it harder and harder to beat back the spam. Users still participate in the web each and every day, but it increasingly feels like they do so in spite of the largest web platforms and sites, not because of them.

\n\n\n\n

And yet, we are in an interesting moment of uncertainty. Many people have found way to subvert the norms of the web of the past 10 years. They have escaped to something more fragmented, where their data isn’t scraped and monetized. Just as in 1995, experts are predicting that this is not sustainable, and that platforms will consolidate in pursuit of profit. Once again, they are focused on where the money’s going to come from.

\n\n\n\n

It’s possible that we’re still missing what’s right in front of us. The audience.

\n\n\n\n

The web was created for participation, by its nature and by its design. It can’t be bottled up long. In 2005, blogging was the answer to the question of what comes next. I look to history, and I’ve been wrong about the future many times. But I do know that the audience will tell us what’s next this time too.

\n\n\n\n

If you look for it, there is compelling evidence that the tides are turning. Ted Gioia recently wrote about how audiences are looking for longer, more in-depth, and more “abundant” media than they have in years. Not because there is more available to them, but in spite of Silicon Valley and major media conglomerates trying to force them in the other direction, towards short form videos.

\n\n\n\n

AI may be in trouble as people continue to insist that they would rather talk to one another than a robot. Independent journalists who create unique and authentic connections with their readers are now possible. Open social protocols that experts truly struggle to understand, is being powered by a community that talks to each other.

\n\n\n\n

The web is just people. Lots of people, connected across global networks. In 2005, it was the audience that made the web. In 2025, it will be the audience again.

Welcome to my brain…

\n\n\n\n

Happy Monday, my darling pop culture junkies.

\n\n\n\n

First, let me please apologize to my International readers who likely:

\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Don’t know (or care) what Cracker Barrel is…
  • \n\n\n\n
  • And think we are total morons for getting SO worked up over a logo change.
  • \n
\n\n\n\n

WHAT a time to be alive. Anyway, we WILL get into it, and while I try to stay away from politics, sometimes it cannot be helped.

\n\n\n\n

And DO NOT FRET…your beloved glob of cheddar cheese is owned by KRAFT, and not the aforementioned eatery:

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

Your Triscuits are SAFE.

\n\n\n\n

Anyway, let’s get into it. I am gearing up for a short week and with that, a bit of housekeeping…we will NOT have a newsletter next week due to Labor Day. I may still do a pod, depending on how I am feeling. But I am in short week mode ALREADY, so I want to race through this and then go pack!

\n\n\n\n

This week, besides Cracker Barrel, we will look at:

\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • MINI Labubus are apparently coming
  • \n\n\n\n
  • The DENIM WARS continue as GAP has entered the chat
  • \n\n\n\n
  • Burning Man weather (because it is FUNNY)
  • \n\n\n\n
  • Minnesota State Fair caloric intake
  • \n\n\n\n
  • HELLO Father Jordan!
  • \n\n\n\n
  • Biggest Loser doc/Jussie Smollett doc
  • \n\n\n\n
  • Another TikTok trend..
  • \n
\n\n\n\n

Grab some snacks and a beverage and enjoy!

\n\n\n\n

Oh, for those new here… when looking at TikToks, you do NOT need TikTok or to leave the site to watch them. They play within the newsletter. But TikToks default to NO SOUND, so you need to click on the sound icon, which you will see on the bottom left of a video. SEE BELOW:

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

Click on that icon, and that will turn the sound on!

\n\n\n\n

You’re welcome. 🤗

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

LIPSTICK ON A PIG

\n\n\n\n

Sorry, sorry, but that’s how I feel about whatever changes Cracker Barrel has up its sleeve. As someone who has lived in Florida and driven that NY to Florida 95 route a LOT, I can tell you, there are better options. First, let me break down the facts for someone who might not know about this chain.

\n\n\n\n

There are around 650 locations. Sixty of those are in Florida, and the rest are in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, and Alabama.

\n\n\n\n

Does this start to paint a picture?

\n\n\n\n

An example of the menu is:

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

And the interiors are KITSCHY. From rocking chairs to retail.

\n\n\n\n

For example:

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

YOU get the idea.

\n\n\n\n

Brands evolve. Logos change. Sometimes they are a miss, but sometimes they are fine and innocuous. But because Cracker Barrel is so connected with…sorry, let me just say this…good ole boy country feels…there is a CERTAIN type of American who likes its old school heritage. The logo featured an old white man sitting in a rocking chair, holding a pipe and leaning on a barrel.

\n\n\n\n

This was the OG logo created in 1969 when the chain was founded.

\n\n\n\n

The logo evolved over time, so the PIPE part was removed. But the old man stayed.

\n\n\n\n

So, the new logo got rid of the old white dude entirely.

\n\n\n\n

Honestly, the far right FLIPPED out. Do they flip out when people walk into schools with guns and shoot up classrooms of kids? They give thoughts and prayers, but they seemingly now contain their outrage not for school shootings but for OLD WHITE MAN IN A ROCKING CHAIR BEING REMOVED FROM A LOGO OF A RESTAURANT CHAIN PREDOMINANTLY IN THE SOUTH.

\n\n\n\n

I mean….

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

Poor Florida congressman bemoaned the fact that he gave his LIFE TO CHRIST in a Cracker Barrel restaurant.

\n\n\n\n

WTF??

\n\n\n\n

He had a spiritual awakening in the parking lot of a Tallahassee Cracker Barrel? Or did he lose his virginity in that parking lot? I mean, it is anyone’s guess. But the RIGHT felt WRONGED:

And competitors like STEAK ‘n SHAKE got in on it:

\n

Sometimes, people want to change things just to put their own personality on things. At CB, their goal is to just delete the personality altogether. Hence, the elimination of the "old-timer" from the signage. Heritage is what got Cracker Barrel this far, and now the CEO wants to… pic.twitter.com/Aoml8ZOfuT

\n
\n\n\n\n

The funny thing is, there is NO reason to make this a culture wars thing. I think people on any side of the aisle can be of the opinion that the new logo is blah and lacks vision, fun, and creativity. But because the MAGAhats got so worked up about it, it is because they are just being racist, let’s just call it what it is.

\n\n\n\n

But the Democrats are not blameless here BY ANY MEANS. Whoever is in charge of Chuck Schumer’s socials needs to be fired. Same with Andrew Cuomo, just an fyi, but I digress…

\n\n\n\n

But also this is true:

\n\n\n\n
\n

We need to unify this country again. There is so much common ground here. The left is upset because of martial law in our cities while the right is furious about the new Cracker Barrel logo.

When folks are more upset about removing the "Old Timer" from the Cracker Barrel logo than they are about removing accurate Black history from the Smithsonian and school textbooks, you know the nation is doomed by white nostalgia

\n
\n\n\n\n

And this…

\n\n\n\n
\n

Slavery wasn’t that bad, BUT THE CRACKER BARREL LOGO REDESIGN IS AN ATTACK ON THE VERY SOUL OF OUR NATION.

Am I doing this right?

Ahhhh….manufactured rage. It gets all of us eventually.

\n\n\n\n

A LITTLE OF THIS & A LITTLE OF THAT

\n\n\n\n

Let’s find a little fun and whimsy now!

\n\n\n\n

SPEAKING of whimsy…do not fret, we have MORE Labubu news.

\n\n\n\n

Last week, Pop Mart, the company behind LABUBU, announced that mini monsters were coming.

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

And as someone who came back from Japan with LOTS of bag charms, this will be a monster hit as they are also launching their own line of bag charms:

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

They teased new products with this video:

\n\n\n\n
\n\n
\n\n\n\n

And this gives you more insight into the brand expansion:

And the reactions:

They are PRINTING money. But let us not forget about fads:

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Now, let’s discuss the latest in the DENIM WARS.

\n\n\n\n

The thing is about the Sydney Sweeney/American Eagle ad campaign as I said at time…it just wasn’t that good. OR original. And that was what annoyed me the most about it.

\n\n\n\n

Enter GAP. Who is going through quite the creative change since Zac Posen stepped in as creative director. And trust me, he watched ALL the reactions to American Eagle and was like, “I got this.”

\n\n\n\n

And he did.

\n\n\n\n

In a throwback to old GAP ads like this:

\n\n\n\n
\n\n
\n\n\n\n

And this:

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

He brought on a new look and feel to a denim ad as a CLEAR response to American Eagle.

\n\n\n\n

Now before I show you the ad, you have to understand who KATSEYE is.

\n\n\n\n

They are an INTERNATIONAL girl group with members from all around the world. Members are from:

\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • The Philippines
  • \n\n\n\n
  • South Korea
  • \n\n\n\n
  • Swiss (Ghana and Swiss-Italian)
  • \n\n\n\n
  • American (Cuban-Venezuelan)

  • Indian-American
  • \n\n\n\n

And, as a side note, GAP denim is where it is at right now.

And one ONE more side note….NEWS YOU CAN USE…

\n\n\n\n

LEGGINGS ARE OUT, you guys. The kids have ruled leggings to be cheesy…they are wearing loose pants now for working out and ath-leisure. Sorry Lulu and Alo…but we are moving into a new direction:

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A WHOLE NEW WORLD is coming…

\n\n\n\n

Now, many of you know this is my favorite week of the year. And that is because it is BURNING MAN time, and many of the people who drive me crazy online are offline. No hate to my friends who are Burners and love it, but they are the exception to the rule tbh. So when things go a bit awry at Burning Man, schadenfreude MOST DEF kicks in. And here we are:

\n\n\n\n

@humminglion

Crazy winds at Burning Man pretty much destroyed a lot of camps including ours.. 2-3 days of 8-10 hour days in the hot sun just gone like that 😓 Will have to rebuild everything – hope everyone’s ok! We had a couple injuries in the camp from poles flying around! #burningman #burningman2025 #blackrockcity

Granted, this was during the set up part. The annoying people I am referring to generally take NO part in the set up; they arrive at a camp that was set up for them. But still, I am amused.

\n\n\n\n

While I will never be a Burning Man person, I very much want to be a MINNESOTA STATE FAIR person, and thanks to TikTok, it was like I was there, and in truth, I need to go one year:

\n\n\n\n

And switching gears ever so slightly….

\n\n\n\n

TikTok is having a real-life FLEABAG/HOT PRIEST MOMENT. Let me introduce you to Father Jordan:

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Poor Father Jordan had to turn off comments because the comments got SPICY.

\n\n\n\n

And the comments give me LIFE:

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

AND moving onto an obscure trend that I love because of the genre and “CRUEL INTENTIONS” was one of my fave movies, and you know, the Counting Crows brings us back to a simpler time. This was a famous scene when Reese found Ryan Philippe at the top of the escalator and we ALL cried:

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

And the kids are remaking this scene:

I need to make one with THIS GUY:

\n\n\n\n

AND lastly, the things on the TV the kids are talking about. There is always a lot, but these two things have the kids talking. I’ve watched one, but I won’t watch the other. But this is what the kids are talking about!

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

THIS was bananas and heartbreaking and has led to in-fighting amongst the trainers. Jillian Michaels, apparently, while IN the series from archival footage, was not involved with it, whereas her counterpoint, Bob Harper, was a producer.

\n\n\n\n

And for a full reveal? BOTH of these people are terrible. WHY Jillian Michaels is being put on talking heads shows on networks like CNN, where she says things like this:

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

She is a FITNESS TRAINER. WHY THE FUCK IS CNN giving her a platform to discuss anything BUT? I love my friends at CNN, but please stop this. Please. Please. I am asking you nicely, please.

\n\n\n\n

And BOB…BOB is a sadist, plain and simple. And these people were on the show to be famous, not because they cared about the health and wellness of the contestants who were fighting for their lives. These people were not trained to train OBESE people. That’s a whole different situation. They trained athletes and other fit people. But by their own admission, they never trained heavy-set people.

\n\n\n\n

This show had 18 seasons?? 258 Epis?? Like wow:

\n\n\n\n
\n\n
\n\n\n\n

It was a very compelling, albeit SUPER shocking series.

\n\n\n\n

And that brings us to this little piece of content I will not be watching because TikTok tells me everything I need to know:

\n\n\n\n
\n\n
\n\n\n\n

AND with that, go enjoy your Monday! I am ignoring some other things that went viral this weekend, like the DRUNK ADA from Rhode Island, who got into it with cops, and it is all on camera. GUYS…can we just stop this madness? Stop losing your minds on planes. Stop getting drunk and getting into it with cops. It will go viral. PLEASE know this. It will not end well.

\n\n\n\n

Also, just in case you saw August 24th pop up on your socials… the kids had determined that it was the day a certain someone was supposed to drop dead, based on a prediction by some TikTok psychic. It did not happen, but there is a growing focus on his health and congestive heart failure, which the internet has diagnosed.

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

AND THAT IS IT, my darlings…

\n\n\n\n

I am off to pack for a little Florida adventure and NOT to where you think of when you think of Florida. Nope, I am heading to Jacksonville, where all the cool kids are going. It is like the next city, and I will report back on all my findings. I am very excited.

\n\n\n\n

In case you missed last week’s pod, PLEASE check it out, share it, like it, and subscribe to it, please!

Crazy winds at Burning Man pretty much destroyed a lot of camps including ours.. 2-3 days of 8-10 hour days in the hot sun just gone like that 😓 Will have to rebuild everything - hope everyone’s ok! We had a couple injuries in the camp from poles flying around! #burningman #burningman2025 #blackrockcity

If there is one item that a bunch of very talented people have cooked for me, it is biryani. So, for the last post for #BlogchatterFoodFest I want to pay ode not only to the biryani, but also to the people who have made it for me.

\n\n\n\n

Starting with Famida ki chicken biryani. She was with us for a short while but she used to make the best biryani I have ever had. For her, making it was an entire day process. She started in the morning and we’d eat it for dinner. She would painstakingly roast the onions brown to sprinkle on top of the finished biryani. She would even colour a few rice strands orange to give it that restaurant feel. Her gravy used to be like makhmal and vibrantly orange.

\n\n\n\n

Next is Shrichand ki biryani. Unlike Famida’s biryani, his is brown. He serves it with boondi raita and salad and it tastes like someone made it with a lot of love and care. The best part is, he also provides cheerleading services in the form of “aur khao didi” and “khao, khao, khao” every time you tell him “bas ho gaya.”

\n\n\n\n

Now I have to mention the biryani I had in Lucknow. A friend’s mom made it for us and would you look at the photo! It’s like I can smell it all the way in 2025.

\n\n\n
\n
\"If
If this spread causes jealousy or FOMO, I won’t blame you
\n\n\n

It was our first post-covid meeting of friends. We were saying bye to a friend who was moving to the US for her post-doc and aunty prepared an entire menu for the 2-3 days we’d be there. It was divine, obviously.

\n\n\n\n

And finally, the biryani that Asha ji just made for lunch today which I had with dahi. Simple, home affair that tasted delightfully of dhaniya and garlic.

\n\n\n\n

See, there’s a reason I don’t cook. I just feel there are so many who do it so well, they need people who will eat what they make and groan with every bite, loudly proclaiming how good the dish is.

\n\n\n\n

Aka me!

\n\n\n\n

So next time, if you want a cheerleader, call me.

There is a certain joy that I feel every time I think about food. It’s an innocent joy, a very quid pro quo where a delicious piece is kept in front of me and I get to have a sensual experience of enjoying it.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) and fully general humanoid robotics are just around the corner, or so many people believe. So it’s time to try to understand how this will affect our economy. Will we be forced into lives of idle leisure and/or meaninglessness? Will the few remaining human workers toil below the API? Will we get fully automated luxury gay space communism?

\n\n\n\n

This is a follow up after five years to my original post on post scarcity and post-capitalism.

\n\n\n\n

Keynes predicted in 1930 that by 2030, automation would reduce the need for work to just 15 hours per week. We’re almost there, so what did he get right and wrong? First, most people work fewer hours in less physically taxing jobs than their grandparents did. But we’ve standardized on 40 hour weeks, and much more for people in jobs with a high degree of competition. Within those 40 hours, I am reliably informed, some people struggle to perform even a single hour of meaningful work, but these are not the rule.

\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Keynes was absolutely correct that cumulative capital increase would lead to radically higher GDP and standard of living. If anything, he underestimated how resourceful we could be in finding new things to make and spend money on.

\n\n\n\n

This doesn’t surprise me much. Even in Keynes’ time, mechanization of much of labor had increased US GDP by a factor of four or five since the end of the civil war, and probably a factor of 20 since pre-industrial times.

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

With modern technology, we could keep our entire civilization at a c. 1700 level of abundance (i.e. mostly not starving to death, but no real health care or other tech, life expectancy of 35 due to tragic levels of child mortality) with almost trivial allocation of labor – but for the necessity of some level of economic dynamism to maintain the tech and capital stack that sustains today’s level of mechanization.

\n\n\n\n

We stand on the cusp of another industrial revolution, poised to increase GDP again by many times over. Maybe this time we’ll finally run out of things to spend money on and be forced to retire? I doubt it. Let’s get specific.

\n\n\n\n

Large language models and other proto-AGI technology functions as a tool. Like other tools, it increases productivity for workers in the economy, but to varying degrees. It seems highly likely to me that while nearly everyone will benefit substantially from widespread use of AGI, functioning as a cognitive prosthesis, a tiny minority of power users will increase their personal productivity not by a factor of two or three, but by a factor of hundreds or thousands. Even if they are unable to capture all the financial benefit of this productivity increase, it creates potential for out-of-equilibrium economic shifts.

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

First, let’s divide goods and services into four quadrants, by whether demand is saturable or unsaturable, and whether supply is rivalrous or non-rivalrous.

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

Rivalrous, saturable goods include housing, food (pre agricultural revolution), education (credentialed), and regulated childcare.

\n\n\n\n

Rivalrous, unsaturable goods include untaxed land, healthcare, education.

\n\n\n\n

Non-rivalrous, saturable goods include LCD displays as an example of the sort of luxury consumer electronics which have become universal, high quality, and cheap. It also includes cars and food (post agricultural revolution).

\n\n\n\n

Non-rivalrous, unsaturable goods include software, aviation, inference compute, and robot armies.

\n\n\n\n

This model explains why, despite our growing wealth and technological power, some goods’ costs are increasing relative to inflation.

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

That is, the recently nonrivalrous goods have become so because technology has greatly increased their supply elasticity, essentially overcoming scarcity in favor of abundance. On the other hand, growing buying power accruing to the highest productivity workers can bidding everyone else out on the unsaturable rivalrous goods, creating the effect of increased scarcity despite a broadly shared increase in overall wealth.

\n\n\n\n

We can expend near infinite effort on complicated bureaucratic shell games to ration scarcity, which is itself often artificially induced and then exacerbated through this sort of regulation. We can tax gains into oblivion, obtaining equitable outcomes through more universal poverty and cutting down the possibility of out-of-distribution upsides for our entire civilization, until we’re outcompeted by a more forward thinking alternative from some other culture. Or we can let technology continue to lift the burden of scarcity, allowing supply to increase in tempo with our increasing civilizational wealth, ensuring that everyone sees benefits to generally increased prosperity.

\n\n\n\n

Healthcare, education, childcare, housing are poster children for scarcity-through-over-regulation, credentialism, etc. But this doesn’t really provide a road map for how our civilization can soften, for example, the looming demographic catastrophe, other than “I wish we could deregulate zoning and permitting”. Even though I wish we could.

\n\n\n\n

But it does offer some ideas for how AGI could change this landscape. In particular, if a relatively small class of AI superusers grows enormously in economic power, we should expect their consumption of rivalrous goods to drive cost increases. The nightmare scenario here is that San Francisco’s deliberately scarce housing supply gets further bid up by a generation of AI billionaires to the point where a crumbling pre-war tenement costs not $5m but $500m, and any prospect for anyone not in the cyborg class to live in that city goes from fantasy to myth. Demand for essential consumer goods, like a place to live, will drive inflation up if supply cannot increase in step.

\n\n\n\n

So, how do we fix this? How to we transition the rivalrous goods into the non-rivalrous quadrants?

\n\n\n\n

Historically, food was a saturable, rivalrous good. That is, you could only eat so much of it, but once you had, no-one else could. We solved food scarcity and famine with Haber-Bosch and artificial fertilizers. Food is now abundant enough that your purchase of whatever you want at Costco does not meaningfully reduce my odds of purchasing whatever I want at the same store. This is an instructive example for how technology can fundamentally alter some previously guaranteed constraint on our lives. In this case, within living memory food shortages were simply a fact of life and every winter, some fraction of people didn’t make it. Today, naturally occurring famine has been eradicated.

\n\n\n\n

Healthcare is rivalrous and unsaturable, because doctors are in finite supply but one sick person can consume unlimited quantities of their time. In practice, this always leads to rationing, usually with some enormous extractive bureaucratic superstructure to try to obscure this fundamental truth. If some fraction of your society are doomed to suffer slow declines in old age, it is trivial to spend orders of magnitude more wealth on unpleasant medical interventions with poor outcomes than the patient could ever have contributed in taxes.

\n\n\n\n

How can technology address this? One approach could be AI doctors. If you can spool up Grok MD for $0.10/hour, the scarcity of doctors goes away and healthcare becomes unsaturable but non-rivalrous. Every doctor I know can think of half a dozen malingering hypochondriac “frequent flyers” who consume much of their time to the detriment of patients with real conditions, and who could be equally well treated (in terms of their unsaturable need for attention) by a friendly AI.

\n\n\n\n

But this hardly addresses the core problem, which is that most of healthcare is consumed by old, sick people in the process of dying. If we invent immortality technology, then healthcare goes from rivalrous and unsaturable to non-rivalrous (drugs are easy to make) and saturable (once you’ve obtained perpetual youth there’s no way you can do it again).

\n\n\n\n

Land is rivalrous and unsaturable. While housing is a relatively discrete need, an army of AI-rich people attempting to buy up estates in California will quickly run out of water front. What to do about this? We could tax the entire industry into oblivion, but this will hardly stop new Chinese billionaires from showing up with the same plan in mind. Conventional wisdom would call for managed scarcity through Georgism. Tax the land to incentivize value-aligned use. This would revert it to a saturable good.

\n\n\n\n

But a tech-based approach might call for the creation of more land through mass-desalination and irrigation, particularly of the US south west. Making land in space accessible also provides a pressure relief valve. This means that land is still unsaturable (as ideally it should be in a world with open frontiers) but is no longer rivalrous.

\n\n\n\n

Finally, housing is the easiest of all. Upzone and build. The core problem with alleviating housing scarcity is engineering a soft landing for the landlords who have hoarded the artificially scarce supply, building their wealth in the process. It is unfortunate that we’ve chosen to build middle class wealth on home ownership rather than, say, robust equity in highly productive and fast-growing primary and secondary industry. But the presence of AI-led GDP hypergrowth should soften the blow.

\n\n\n\n

Indeed, periods of rapid economic growth provide a cornucopia of opportunities for new companies to provide new products to satiate new desires. If AI is increasing civilizational productivity by some substantial margin, there is margin to be made by helping consumers to increase their consumption.

\n\n\n\n

The goal of policy should be to help our civilization ingest ongoing technological improvements without creating an artificial class of “have nots” who miss out, especially when there is so much wealth creation to go around and so little standing in the way of this rising tide lifting all boats.

To be perceptive… what does that mean? The dictionary indicates that to be perceptive means to be ‘observant.’ So perceptive people would not be oblivious to actual conditions happening around them. For instance, if serious climatic changes were occurring frequently in the environment, people would not — due to conditioning from nefarious leaders paid off by the fossil fuel industries — go around pretending that serious global weather changes were not happening. Heavily conditioned minds may exist in a rut that prevents the truth from being seen. An intelligent, dynamic mind is beyond stale conditioning and crude containment.

Additionally, the dictionary indicates that ‘sensitive’ is another meaning for the word ‘perceptive.’ With real sensitivity comes compassion, empathy, and a deep feeling of love. A narcissistic person (as many, unfortunately, are) is sensitive mostly exclusively for his or her own organism, excluding all (so-called) others. That kind of sensitivity is very limited, very narrow, and very circumscribed. In reality, it is not sensitivity at all; it is an exemplification of a lack of sensitivity. Selfish people are mostly only focused on the little “self.” A person of this type is trapped in demarcations that are extremely small, petty, and limited.

\n\n\n\n

It may be that in very profound and deep perception, the self is absent or rather insubstantial. Such perception is never mere reaction… it is immense and magical, intelligent, blessed action.

When my Grandpa Jack, who had worked for many years as a driver in New York City, moved to Florida, he naturally continued driving, sometimes longer trips, but generally shopping trips for my grandmother who never drove. Over time the amount of driving declined, and his eyesight worsened with macular degeneration. Eventually he only drove from his retirement community to the shopping centre across the street, one traffic light and about a mile away. As he joked, he stuck his cane out the window so that everyone would know he couldn’t see.

\n\n\n\n

After he turned 88, my aunt was reasonably concerned about the risk he imposed to himself and others. She ensured he was sent a letter by the State of Florida Department of Motor Vehicles asking him to come in for a vision test, a test he knew he wouldn’t pass. He died soon thereafter. My aunt turned 88 this year. She still drives.

It seems fairly often that one hears news reports of an elderly driver colliding with someone on a footpath. This recent tragedy: Elderly driver, 91, hits three pedestrians at Melbourne playground is just one of many. Obviously not only older drivers hit pedestrians, but the effects of aging are a contributing factor that often get dismissed, while focus remains on speed and alcohol and drugs and youth and cell phones and so on, which also should not be dismissed.

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Risk

\n\n\n\n

There are two major risks to be concerned about

\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Crash risk to others
    In the US the AAA Foundation found drivers 80+ more likely to be involved in crashes than middle-aged drivers per mile, though less likely than the youngest drivers (AAA Foundation). (Noting that seniors drive less, and so are often involved in fewer crashes per capita).
  2. \n\n\n\n
  3. Crash risk to themselves (fragility)
    Aging bodies are less resilient. Vehicle occupants over 85 are up to 3× more likely to die in a crash than drivers under 20, and 20× more likely than drivers under 60 (Tefft 2008). The same crash that bruises a younger driver kills an older one.
  4. \n
\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Why They Still Drive

\n\n\n\n

If the risks to themselves and others are so high, why do older people continue to drive? Aside from denial or simple lack of information, which one suspects is rare given the reminders that older drivers must receive when they go in for their eye exams:

\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Independence
    Over 80% of adults 65+ hold licenses in countries like the U.S., and most drive weekly. Giving up the keys doubles the odds of being classified as socially isolated (OR = 2.1, p < .001) (Qin et al 2019). Driving is linked not just to mobility, but to mental health: the S.AGES cohort found it may act as a protective factor against depression (Baudouin et al 2025).

  3. Lack of alternatives
    In most suburban and rural environments, transit is infrequent, walking is unsafe, and cycling impractical. Transport for NSW notes that driving cessation is strongly associated with depression and social isolation in the absence of alternatives (Transport for NSW). Globally, fewer than 10% of older adults regularly use public transport, and usually only when it’s abundant.
  4. \n\n\n\n
  5. Deconstruction of extended families
    Though multigenerational living in the US was relatively rare by the early 2000s, recent years have seen a reversal. About 20% of older Americans now live in multigenerational homes, and between 2011 and 2021, the overall share of Americans in such living situations climbed from 7% to 26% (Pew 2022). Many of those multi-generational families though are parents and children, not necessarily grandparents and parents and children, thus not necessarily solving the isolation and transport problems.

The Real Question

\n\n\n\n

The issue is not simply whether old people should drive. It’s why they feel, like my grandfather in the 1990s, or my aunt today, they must. When mobility without a car is impractical or unsafe, driving becomes compulsory. Forcing people to quit driving under those conditions strips away not just transport, but autonomy, health, and social connection. Yet we have taxis available in a few minutes with the tap of a phone, and a call before that. Notably, for infrequent drivers this will be less expensive than the cost of vehicle ownership. Eventually AVs may be ubiquitous and solve the safety problem, but that’s a couple of decades away, as older drivers are least likely to be the technology’s early adopters.

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

What To Do

\n\n\n\n

If we are serious about reducing risks while sustaining independence, the answer is systematic redesign:

\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Rigorous, functional ability tests, not age thresholds for licensing. (Recognising that ability changes over time, and can change suddenly, and we cannot, in practice, test continuously).
  • \n\n\n\n
  • Housing near groceries, restaurants, healthcare, and other services, which doesn’t require a car. (Recognising we cannot move everyone, so this at best is a partial solution)
  • \n\n\n\n
  • Accessible, frequent alternatives to driving (public transport, safe taxis and ridehailing, community shuttles, safe and smooth sidewalks with minimal tripping hazards, biking/triking lanes, and so on) designed for all ages—not just commuters. (Recognising we cannot afford (or choose not to afford) the public transport we have in many places.)
  • \n\n\n\n
  • Safe street design with lower speeds and protected crossings, reducing fragility-related risks.
  • \n
\n\n\n\n

Of course, these are the things we should do for almost all problems with cars.

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

If “old people shouldn’t drive” is true, it is less an indictment of seniors than of the transport and land-use systems that make driving seem like the only viable option for people who grew up with automobility. A society that designs mobility only around the private car ensures that the moment you can’t drive is the moment your world collapses.

After I wrote about participation a couple of weeks ago, it brought me back to a question that I return to from time to time. Do blogs, like this one I’m writing in now, need to be so lonely? Not always, but sometimes, I feel like I’m shouting into the void.

\n\n\n\n

I’m picturing something relatively simple. Something like a group blog, or a blog co-op. A group of internet friends posting together, without too much oversight or coordination between them. When somebody has an idea, they post. Others can respond to those posts in new posts. Or not. And together, a group of people chip away at a blog together. Personally, I’d love to be in a group like that.

\n\n\n\n

Leon Paternoster blogged about the idea of blogging collectively last year.

\n\n\n\n
\n

Well, you could start with an actual collective – a group of likeminded internet folk co-authoring a manifesto or corpus of shared principles. Perhaps it would have a shared website, although maybe we want to keep our own blogs (but why?, Leon). The website could syndicate its members’ posts, formalising existing connections and networks, and maybe extending their reach and size in the process.

\n
\n\n\n\n

New technologies create new possibilities, and something like a collective blog is more possible than ever. However, Paternoster came back to this idea recently. He points out that the blocker isn’t a tech problem. Rather, modern blogging is built on top of a techno-individualistic mindset. It’s something that requires one to teach themselves a set of technical skills, preventing it from being a more communal pursuit. This is especially true in the current era of the web, when centralized platforms absorbed most of the web’s content, and only left space for individuals with time on their hands.

\n\n\n\n

But of course, the idea of a collective blog is not novel or new. The web was social by design, after all. I can do what I always do, and look to history for analogs. As with most things, I found some.

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

That brought me to Fray.com, which was created in 1996 by Derek Powazek. Fray.com collected stories from whoever wanted to contribute. The only rule was that each story had to be written from an individual’s point of view, but other than that, each contributor was free to write whatever they wanted, in whatever format they wanted. Each week, Powazek would post a couple of new stories, remixed and adapted through a maze of hyperlinks for the web, sometimes accompanied by graphics. The result was a kaleidoscopic blend of voices that always felt fresh.

\n\n\n\n

That was kind of the point, actually. To encourage active participation on the web.

\n\n\n\n

Afterdinner followed a similar path, alos launched in 1996, allowing short story submissions from people that it would feature on its homepage. They’d change as often as the site’s creator Alex Massie could manage. But there was no shortage of story submissions, and no shortage of visitors. Massie had a particular interest in collaborative sites, and the way it could amplify voices that might otherwise be ignored. “I’d love to be the next Fitzgerald,” she once remarked in an interview, “but, more likely, I’ll have more impact on the world by finding the next Fitzgerald, and I’m content with that.”

\n\n\n\n

Massie ran a similar collective experiment at the time called Regarding, where a small group of contributors recorded themselves and posted clips on the site. That ended up being the model that some other blogs took—a group of a few people, or may be slightly more, that all blogged together. The most notable was probably BoingBoing or Shakesville, but there have been others over the years.

\n\n\n\n

Massie and Powazek were both following the idea that the web was participatory. That just felt obvious to them, and most of the people on the early web.

\n\n\n\n

As a kind of proof of that, Fray.com was one of the first sites with a guest book, a place where people who weren’t contributing full stories could still participate. It was secondary to the site itself, but guestbooks in general became pretty common after that. And the came comment sections, which started in a few places but was popularized by Open Diary. Before long, comments were a stable fixture of the web.

\n\n\n\n

It wasn’t just comments, of course. Forums created a backbone to the participatory web that was extremely important, borrowed from the Internet days of BBS. The Trackback was introduced by Movable Type as a way of connecting blogs together, and giving them a way to talk to one another. Sites experimented with annotations, and public submissions, and live feedback, and so many more.

\n\n\n\n

I still plan on tracing a more complete history of comments, but as a rough outline, they were pushed to the bottom of the page by the early 2000’s. By the 2010’s, they started falling off completely, inundated with neglected spam and flame wars. This made them pretty easy to turn off, which a lot of sites did. And some of that natural participation of the web fell off too.

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\n

The poetic part that Alex talks about, I think, is when you take the microphone away from the journalists and start telling your own stories. That’s the blessing of the web. That’s why we flock to it, to tell our own stories, to weave words that are both journalistic and poetic.

\n
\n\n\n\n

That’s Powazek, talking about what Massie did with Afterdinner. That was the intent back in 1996, when they both kicked off their sites. Comments and trackbacks and forums weren’t supposed to be where web participation ended. This was all just meant to be the first step until the technology got better. The blog was meant to be a place where people could come together and interact with one another, not a solo soapbox.

\n\n\n\n

Which kind of reversed the original intent of the web. Trackbacks and comments and forums were meant to be a first step. Even with blogging, if you take a closer look. Blogs feel the most meaningful when they are a place where people can come together.

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

What’s old is new again. Trackbacks have finally evolved into a true social web backed like protocols like ActivityPub actually integrated into the fabric of the web, which is getting more mainstream by the day. Forums have been reincarnated as Discord groups or dedicated communities. It’s possible that even comments are making a comeback.

\n\n\n\n

And there are now, and have always been, some group blogs out there. Sites like The Midnight Pub keeps the experimental nature of Fray alive. Journalist collectives like Every and Flaming Hydra or The Last Word on Nothing are carrying the torch of a site like Regarding. And there are certainly others.

\n\n\n\n

So why not collaborative blogging? Why not groups of people coming together to create personal blogs? Something less formal than a journalist collective, but more communal than a personal blog. Blogging collectively opens us up to a new kind of content, one in which members of the blog are in conversation with one another in a way that’s comfortable and unique.

\n\n\n\n

That idea is really appealing to me. Anybody else? Reach out if it is.

Over the past several years, I’ve listened to administrators, moderators, and community managers from across the decentralised social media landscape. I’ve been in the chats, attended the FediForums, read the forum debates, and watched them keep their corners of the internet safe and welcoming for the people who inhabit their communities. 

\n\n\n\n

One phrase comes up often in these circles: “We need to grow the fediverse.” This always sparks a spirited debate: what does growth mean? Who’s welcome, and who’s not? And what even is “the fediverse” anyway?

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

I recently attended FediCon in Vancouver, full to the brim of amazing people pursuing roughly similar goals; and again I heard about “preserving and growing the fediverse”. It was inspiring, but also thought-provoking. 

\n\n\n\n

All conferences are self-selecting, drawing together people with similar values. It can create a snapshot that feels unified, but may not reflect the wider and more varied reality. In the same way, everyone’s fediverse is a reflection of their own perspective, the people they follow, the conversations they join, the boundaries they set.

\n\n\n\n

When people speak about “the fediverse” in the singular, they often mean a familiar network of interconnected servers with shared norms and moderation values. It’s a compelling vision, but I don’t believe it’s the only one. As part of my work at IFTAS, I operate a server that blocks no one so I can see a broader view: the friendly spaces and the chaotic ones, the small communities quietly thriving, and the loud, messy edges many people never encounter.

\n\n\n\n

Seeing that full spectrum reminds me why I care deeply about this space, and why my vision for its future is maybe a little different.

\n\n\n\n

The Fediverse I’m Fighting For

\n\n\n\n

My goals for the fediverse are simple: a safer internet, and access for everyone to the benefits of being connected to the world wide web. For me, this doesn’t mean attracting celebrities and their millions of followers. It’s about enabling people – especially in developing nations dominated by “zero rate” services from telcos and tech giants – to build their own platforms, in their own languages, free from corporate control. It means helping communities preserve their languages and the culture those languages carry on an increasingly homogenised internet. In many places where mobile data is “free”, the limited options provided by the chosen platform is the only internet that many know.

\n\n\n\n

The fediverse offers an escape hatch: a broader, freer, and community-led web. I want people to have safe, self-governed spaces.

\n\n\n\n

According to Ethnologue, “greater than 50% of the world’s population suffer from Digital Language Divide issues.” The UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues states: “Indigenous languages are central to the identity of Indigenous peoples, and an expression of self-determination. When Indigenous languages are under threat, so too are Indigenous peoples themselves.“ Yet as these communities come online, modern tools often fail them.

\n\n\n\n

The Welsh language is by no means endangered to the same degree as many Indigenous languages, but it still faces barriers online. That’s why I created toot.wales, a bilingual service where around 10% of posts are in Cymraeg (Welsh). The platform is fully translated, allowing members to converse in the language of their choice, enjoy a local cultural flavour, and still connect with the wider fediverse – from Finnish photos to Brazilian book reviews. A growing number of federated services already exist to support languages and locales, with local governance and local norms. In a previous post I’ve highlighted over a dozen endangered languages that already have fediverse support, and we need many, many more of them.

\n\n\n\n

This is the fediverse I’m fighting for – a million places for a billion voices.

\n\n\n\n

But it’s about more than language and culture

\n\n\n\n

When I say I want to invite people in, I don’t mean into “my” fediverse. Mine is small, and would be unusable with billions in my feed. Robert W. Gehl speaks of a “covenantal fediverse” in Move Slowly and Build Bridges, “a network where ethically aligned communities band together” under “an ethical covenant as a social protocol”. In practice, this means communities agreeing on shared moderation values and working together as a trusted network – a kind of federation-within-the-federation. I believe this is the fediverse many think of when they speak of preservation and growth, but perhaps it is instead just one model, one success story, one use case – and yes, it needs to be preserved, strengthened, and where appropriate, grown.

\n\n\n\n

Other models include island networks cautiously connected to trusted neighbours; thematic communities joining people across space and time over a shared interest; or large communities gathering around shared photographs or book reviews or classic cinema. For some communities, connection to the widest network is a survival strategy. Reducing it to “small fedi” and “big fedi” obscures this diversity.

\n\n\n\n

I share with the community leaders of these spaces a desire for people to find useful, joyful alternatives to the social networking giants who hoover up our most intimate data and “enrich” it with yet more data to sell that data to yet more giants who do awful, awful things with that information.

\n\n\n\n

I believe the open social web contains a multitude of fediverses – some connected by protocol, others by platform, denylist, or shared governance. Is Nostr the fediverse? Bluesky? Maybe it doesn’t matter. What matters is that anyone can create their own fediverse and choose their connections.

\n\n\n\n

One world wide web, a handful of protocols networking in the space, and 30,000 federating domains. So is there one fediverse, three, or 30,000? There are over a million active members using ActivityPub online right now so… 

\n\n\n\n

Maybe there’s a million fediverses.

\n\n\n\n

Protocols

\n\n\n\n

Many speak of the fediverse as if it were a single network because so much of it runs on ActivityPub, the protocol connecting Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Lemmy and more. But ActivityPub is only one option. 

\n\n\n\n

ATProto, used by Bluesky, takes a different approach to federation and portability. Nostr offers a bare-minimum protocol for microblogging, chat, and other formats. Older protocols like OStatus, and newer experimental ones, also play their part. These protocols are not interchangeable. 

\n\n\n\n

Without bridging, they cannot talk to each other, and even with it, some features break. A Mastodon user cannot natively follow a Bluesky account. A Pixelfed post will not simply appear in a Nostr client. This fragmentation means there’s no single fediverse protocol, only overlapping technologies with different strengths. 

\n\n\n\n

Mike Masnick’s Protocols, Not Platforms imagined a world without the walled gardens of big tech, where openness and interoperability would be the norm. That idea was vital in getting us here: a landscape of many platforms on a handful of protocols, with bridges connecting them. But protocols alone don’t address abuse, disinformation, or harmful speech – those are shaped by the communities and tools built on top. 

\n\n\n\n

Connecting these protocols is often treated as an inherent good, but in reality not all conversations are meant for everyone. Consent-aware federation, like Bridgy Fed’s approach, is vital. When I invite friends over for dinner, I don’t broadcast our conversation to the whole city. I choose the guest list, and the conversation flows accordingly. The same should be true for online communities: we connect where it makes sense, and we keep some spaces more private, because not every exchange belongs on every network.

\n\n\n\n

Platforms

\n\n\n\n

Even when platforms share a protocol, they develop distinct cultures. Mastodon’s vibe is not Pixelfed’s, despite both using ActivityPub. Lemmy’s threaded discussions create different norms from PeerTube’s video-first approach. 

\n\n\n\n

Digging deeper, there isn’t even really a single “Mastodon vibe” – we only see the parts we experience. What is Mastodon’s vibe in Japan, Chile, or Madagascar? For outsiders, language and cultural norms make it opaque. This isn’t deliberate exclusion, but it means English-speaking members often mistake their fediverse for the fediverse. Without the language or social context, we cannot fully understand another community’s norms. 

\n\n\n\n

People notice when a platform prioritises short text posts over photos or long-form discussion, and new expectations form around those design choices. Culture rarely crosses these boundaries. A Lemmy regular may feel out of place on Mastodon, and vice versa. Protocol compatibility is not cultural compatibility – nor should it be. There is no global town square online, and experience shows that trying to build one is a recipe for conflict. 

\n\n\n\n

Some argue this is a weakness, that a truly global network should strive for more cultural blending. But attempts to force one universal town square almost always flattens local norms, erases minority and marginalised cultures, and sparks avoidable conflict. The internet’s healthiest spaces are not uniform but neighbourly, many different gatherings, each with its own atmosphere, connected by shared roads. You can visit, stay, or go home, but you don’t have to merge all the gatherings into one.

\n\n\n\n

People

\n\n\n\n

In early 2024 I was invited to speak on a panel discussing decentralised platforms. While answering a question, I spotted the afore-mentioned Mike Masnick in the audience, and my thinking crystallised right there and then: the next step is people, not protocols

\n\n\n\n

In my years designing software, I always centred the person, the user, the member. We should do the same for the fediverse. Instead of trying to centre “the fediverse” as a whole, we should centre the people using it and those who want to use it. 

\n\n\n\n

Some might say that decentralisation without a unifying centre will weaken our collective voice. But history shows that movements thrive when they are many-voiced. A network of independent spaces, each with its own governance and culture, is harder to silence, co-opt, or corrupt than any single global fediverse could ever be.

\n\n\n\n

Most people want their own space, shaped by their needs and their values. Who you follow and who you block shapes your conversations, your values, your tone – that is your fediverse. The fediverse is less like a single public square and more like a city full of homes, gardens, and community halls. You can visit others, invite them over, or keep your doors shut. The foundation is choice – and that choice belongs to the people.

\n\n\n\n

In other words, fediverse is in the eye of the beholder.

\n\n\n\n

Connect the world, but, you know, don’t

\n\n\n\n

I’m not here to grow the fediverse in terms of protocols or platforms. I’m here to grow it in terms of people, offering them the same freedoms, safety, and self-governance that I have seen delivered to marginalised communities, to linguistic communities, to regional communities, to sports communities, to scientific and academic communities… to all the fediverses we’ve already created. Some of which talk to each other and some that don’t. And that’s OK. That’s how it’s supposed to work.

\n\n\n\n

Protocols and platforms will come and go. People will remain, and they will need places that reflect and serve their needs, their norms, and their rules. That is the promise of the fediverse – people communing and communicating in ones and twos and threes and hundreds and thousands, in whatever ways they choose.

\n\n\n\n

The fediverse is not a place, it is the means to build a place.

\n\n\n\n

It’s the means to build a million different places.

\n\n\n\n

There’s a future where every device could be its own single-person instance. Where there’s a Bonfire Social for every neighbourhood, a NodeBB for every sport, a PeerTube for every film genre, a Lemmy for every language, a Pixelfed for every school. We’re not there yet, but we’re on our way.

\n\n\n\n

I don’t want to grow “the fediverse”, because there is no single “the” fediverse. I want to help humanity step out of walled-in, private platforms and onto the open social web – a web where everyone can exercise their rights to free expression, free association, and just as importantly, the right to choose who they associate with.

\n\n\n\n

Some worry that too much autonomy leads to silos, echo chambers, or even harmful spaces. They’re not wrong to be cautious, but centralisation carries its own risks: capture, homogenisation, and the erosion of cultural sovereignty. A healthy networked planet will have both bridges and boundaries, each community deciding how porous it wants to be.

\n\n\n\n

Some will find their home in communities that already exist. Others will create new spaces that meet their own needs, in their own languages, with their own rules. Some will connect widely, others will keep to themselves. All of them will be valid. All of them will belong.

\n\n\n\n

Let a million fediverses bloom.

Many others have explored this subject with depth and clarity. Below is a selection of their work, which adds important context and perspective to what I’ve shared above. I’m deeply grateful for the time, thought, and care they’ve invested in shaping the open social web.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

To explore how the fediverse is already a collection of fediverses, see:

\n\n\n\n\n", + "excerpt": "

Over the past several years I’ve listened to admins, mods, and community managers from across the decentralised social media landscape. I’ve been in the chats, attended the conferences, read the forum debates, and watched them keep their corners of the internet safe and welcoming for the people who inhabit their communities. 

\n

One phrase comes up often in these circles: “We need to grow the fediverse.” This always sparks a spirited debate: what does growth mean? Who’s welcome, and who’s not? And what even is “the fediverse” anyway?

Update 8/8/2025 – I wrote this the day before a certain post by a popular developer services company. I’ve seen some comments this is a rebuttal – it wasn’t meant to be! But clearly there’s a lot of similar messaging going around the industry right now.

\n\n\n\n

As a restaurant owner – I’m astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today’s microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow’s microwave will be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. Ten years from now a microwave may even be able to run the country.

\n\n\n\n

Recently I was watching a livestream of a local microwave salesman. He suggested that restaurants should cook all their food in a microwave.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We all need to transition to this way of cooking, because clearly this is where the future is going. I expect in a few short years kitchens will be much smaller. Gone will be stoves and ovens and flat tops. Restaurant kitchens will only be a small closet with a microwave. I predict this will happen by 1955 at the latest.

\n\n\n\n

Many chefs I know get upset at me when I tell them this. But this is the truth: If you can’t cook everything you make in a microwave thats a skill issue. You need to learn now because when everything is cooked in a microwave you’ll be out of a job. When microwaves are everywhere you’ll be so far behind you’ll never learn how to use a microwave. Chefs who use tools besides microwaves are luddites. They live in fear of the future.

\n\n\n\n

If you want to learn how to use a microwave I would suggest starting with my $49.99 two week course. You should also subscribe to my blog.

\n\n\n\n

Recently I was banned from my favorite chef subreddit for posting pictures of all my microwaved food. I was told I was spamming. These are the types of emotional people I deal with. But much like any other discriminated against group I am fighting for acceptance. If my microwaved food triggers you then you clearly are not ready to accept the future of all food.

\n\n\n\n

At my restaurant I’ve moved all my employees to exclusively using microwaves. After I threatened to fire any employee that complained everyone told me the microwaves were great. But I only threatened them so everyone would love the microwaves.

\n\n\n\n

Thats not to say there haven’t been growing pains. When a great steak comes out of the microwave I get really excited. But more than half the steaks that come out of the microwave get sent back by the customer. To solve this problem I now run ten microwaves in parallel cooking ten steaks. One out of the ten steaks will most likely be good. The number of microwaves has required me to upgrade my restaurant’s electrical system and I now have a small nuclear reactor installed in the parking lot.

\n\n\n\n

I saw online another restaurant owner suggested deploying one thousand microwaves for each chef. This sounds like a great idea. The restauranteur also has heavy investments in microwaves and might be over leveraged. I try not to think about that too much.

\n\n\n\n

One of my chefs mentioned that if they could cook the steak on the grill they could get it right the first time. This is not an acceptable attitude in the microwave era. Chefs have fragile egos and they all seem to enjoy cooking (???) so it’s obvious they’re just too attached to the food. Also they’re worried I’m planning on firing all of them. That’s true but not relevant here.

\n\n\n\n

I’ve solved this by putting blindfolds on all my chefs. In no circumstances are they to look at the food. I don’t look at the food either. Looking at the food is how restaurants in the past operated. We don’t work that way any more. Have there been several poisonings? Yes. But the food gets out much faster now.

\n\n\n\n

What’s that you’re saying? In a world where everyone has a microwave that microwaved food will be a commodity? That my chefs and my quality are actually what will distinguish my restaurant when everyone has microwaves? Microwaved food is extremely copyable and will become more difficult to build a unique business around? If I make my chefs exclusively use microwaves they’ll forget how to cook and I won’t be able to even pivot back?

\n\n\n\n

Listen. First – you need to calm down. This is the sort of emotional response I’m talking about. You’re clearly irrationally anti microwave. And that sounds like a next quarter problem – and we don’t talk about next quarter problems.

\n\n\n\n

Second – you need to realize I’m an idea person. Ok? Who else would have thought about putting pepperoni on a pizza? And if I didn’t have a microwave no one may have delivered that idea at all. With a microwave I was able to deliver that idea much faster. The new economy will be purely idea based. Is the quality of a microwaved pizza worse? Sure. But by 1960 cooking pizzas in ovens will be a thing of the past. I don’t have any evidence to back that up. But any rational person can see in a few short years ovens will be gone.

\n\n\n\n

And finally – what do you think is going to happen? That microwaves are just going to go away someday? That we’ll all go back to cooking exactly the way we used to? Well you didn’t say that but thats what I want to talk about. Because clearly there is no middle ground and everything has to be done in a microwave. You’re being very inflexible about doing everything in a microwave and that won’t serve you well in the new microwave era. And we all know that a microwave is the solution for everything, has no underlying problems, and the rate of progress on microwaves will be infinite.

\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I have to go. I’m busy tracking the minutes my chefs are running their microwaves so I know who to fire. This is a foolproof system that there is absolutely no way to game.

\"\"
\nThe contemplating sage at Nagrana Lane

\n

I moved to Bombay, sorry Mumbai, this February. And I chose Bandra as my home. It was one of those ‘destined’ moves as I like to term it. 🙂

\n

Bandra grows on you. It slowly becomes the center of your life, and you start believing that there is no other world outside of it; an aberration one slowly and gleefully slips into.

\n

When people ask me what is it like to live in Bandra, my answer, with a grin, is everyone walks in slippers, takes rickshaws, eats breakfast for dinner at Good Luck Cafe – an Iranian restaurant – for 110 rupees, prays at Mount Mary’s, meets at Bandstand, Mehboob Studio is the landmark for everything, and you have Shahrukh, Salman, Rekha, Farhan Akhtar, John Abraham, etc. etc. living down the road. It is towering high rises, charming Koli and East Indian villages, and centuries old churches, juxtaposed next to each other in quaint harmony.

\n

Bandra’s bent towards juxtaposition can perhaps be surmised as the very core of its reputation as a culturally and artistically ‘open’ minded suburb, which often blatantly, and at other times in subtle undertones, gets expressed. A classic example of the latter being its graffiti decorated walls that have been written much about. Google Bandra + Graffiti, and you will know what I mean. They are works of art in their own right created by National Institute of Design students and aspiring artists.

\n

But there are works you will not find on Google. As I walked back from St Peter’s Church on Hill Road this morning, powerful unabashed statements on gender issues met my eye. A street vendor selling keys, seeing my excitement, suggested I take the tiny side lane, Nagrana Lane, by the bus stop further down. “There is much more there. You will like it!” I didn’t just like it. I was smitten. Bandra was turning its magic on me, a bit more.
