The web is about free movement. If there are walls that keep competitors out and users in, it is not the web. https://daveverse.org/2025/09/23/what-is-web-continued/

It's great that people are talking about textcasting, but they want to know what it means. Here's the story.When Twitter came out in 2006 they left out most of the writing features of the web. Their competitors have copied the limits. Textcasting says writers don't want the limits. Add these features to your twitter-like social network and we are happy and will sing your praise. https://textcasting.org/

@garthk @NewtonMark @simon Also I've written a lot about textcasting on my blog, and luckily it's indexed.https://daytona.scripting.com/search?q=textcastingI'm writing some more about it this morning, and that will show up in the index too.

I'm always preaching "working together."It's like the web, but with people.

@madpilot thanks. i tried. and that document has been up for quite some time, so there's a fair amount of feedback already baked into it. ;-)

@madpilot How could it be more clear this is about social media?

@madpilot @NewtonMark Not reinventing RSS — for getting masto and Bluesky to give up the limits of twitter.But thanks for being nice about this. The others are basically looking for a excuse to be rude, 😵‍💫RSS already does all this, except for markdown which I added via the source namespace.

@dan i see it the same way.the difference is the user interface.i've been blogging about this regularly for the last couple of years dan. here's a piece that explains the big picture.http://scripting.com/2025/08/28/140604.html

@pfefferle @chris you're right, now that i re-read it.but it really is an interesting idea. a high level editor tuned up to work with wikipedia.

I make incredibly good oatmeal.I add the following:1. chopped walnuts2. honey3. cinnamon4. salt5. butter6. raisins7. chopped fresh fruit depending on what's goodcook for five minutes in microwave.stir and let cool off a bitnow i have had a lot of practice, that makes a difference! 🙂

@pfefferle I think that's the intro. We'll see. I'm having a lot of fun with this. Every time I explain it to smart people I figure out how to explain it in general.

@simoner right on!
