1/x One of the things I liked about Web 2.0 was that you could build a following as a techno-optimist blogger. I mean in the sense that you could be passionate about a technology — the web, in my case — and people wanted to get behind that. Now yes, folks like me *should’ve* been a tad more critical. But I loved writing about the opportunities the web presented at that time. These days, your best bet to build a following in tech journalism is by being AGAINST something — AI, crypto, whatever.

@ricmac interesting! Yes, it’s very hard to be a technology optimist and have a positive following right now. The energy is very “anti” things, antagonistic, negative. I am mulling this thread as I think some more about upcoming talks I have planned…

@phillycodehound @andypiper I know, it’s hard…but there is the fediverse and the open web to believe in and advocate for.

@ricmac do you really think you should have been more critical? It seems like the RWW thesis around user-generated content, APIs, and the generative power of ecosystems has entirely paid off. That we live in a time where we are dealing with the knock-on effects of those trends doesn't mean that the world isn't a significantly better place with those technology trends in wide use.

@ricmac @phillycodehound 💪 yes exactly! I've been thinking more about this since @cwebber talk about joy at #fediforum / @pluralistic mention of hope vs optimism in a recent online chat / some discussions about fun vs being in the Rebel Alliance. Hope (and a sense of purpose) are important.

Ho appena ri-condiviso una intervista a Tom Roosendaal . il fondatore di Blender.
Grandi ideali. Dice: non monetizziamo il canale YT perchè se no sottrarremmo risorse a ragazzi come voi (gli intervistatori) che creano contenuti per Blender. Noi creiamo Blender per darvi uno strumento. Non per fare business.
Che grande !

:: Domani nella Commissione del Parlamento europeo la destra voterà per togliere l’immunità a Ilaria Salis e riconsegnarla alle catene del regime di Orban.
La stessa destra salverà al Senato Santanchè e alla Camera Nordio, Piantedosi e Mantovano.
Non sanno cosa è la vergogna!
