I submitted the latest Micro.blog for Android to Google this morning. Hopefully goes through review and will be available later today or this weekend. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also install directly by downloading the latest .apk file.

Ghost is weeks away from shipping 6.0 with fediverse support. Excellent!

We have a real opportunity, now, to create the web we want – but the most tempting mistake is to wait for everyone else to join, before getting involved.

No one is waiting. People have been using the fediverse for years. Micro.blog has supported it since 2018. Welcome to the party, Ghost. 🤪

Rolled into Los Angeles super early. Found a coffee shop that I could walk to that was open at 6am. Still forming some thoughts about this Amtrak trip… It was disappointing, and I think I’m done with Amtrak for a few years, which is unfortunate because I love trains. Just too many weird problems.

Union Station in Los Angeles is illuminated with purple and white lights, surrounded by tall palm trees.

Seth Godin on burning bridges:

While it’s tempting to imagine that we’re always racing forward, it’s far more likely we’ll benefit from traveling over this bridge again one day soon.

Put another way, some people can be so caught in what’s happening now that they aren’t thinking about the future.

TIL the point up emoji ☝️ doesn't work as a reaction on iMessage because Apple displays the emoji above the message it's a reaction to 😂

Vise Coffee in Alpine. I had just finished a cold brew I brought with me, so got a sticker and postcard instead of actual coffee.

I continue to doubt that Apple can roll back external payment links now that the genie is out of the bottle. The appeals court was not persuaded that they should block the order. So we’ll have months of users using external links and the world not ending.

Congrats to A New Social on announcing Bounce, a way to move followers between Bluesky and the fediverse. I like how they’re previewing what followers (and follows) will move. Migrating accounts currently feels very blind, as you cross your fingers and hope everything works across fediverse servers.

Bounce lets you move your followers from Bluesky to Mastodon

[Cameron Faulkner at The Verge]

Bounce is a game-changer for the open social web:

"Bounce is built on the work of Bridgy Fed, which makes your Bluesky posts visible on Mastodon and vice versa. Using Bounce will bridge your accounts, in case you haven’t already set up Bridgy Fed. Then, Bounce can move your account from Bluesky to Mastodon by shifting personal data servers and utilizing the native “move” functionality that ActivityPub and AT Protocol have in common. A New Social CEO and executive director Anuj Ahooja tells The Verge, “Folks on Bluesky will likely never even know you’ve Bounced to Mastodon.”"

This prevents any one service on the open social web from locking you in. Which, after all, is the promise and the power of the platform.
