Luis Villa: After Twitter
The number of self-identified thoughtful-people-in-tech whose social control media energy still goes primarily to Ex-Twitter doesn’t bode well for, well, anything. I’m genuinely not judgy of people whose thing is Just Being Online, but if part of the self-image you like to project is “oh, yes, I really dislike fascism and care about other people” then… yeah, I’m judging you for still being active on Twitter.
A few tips that have helped me move to the fediverse:
- If you were very dependent on your X following and don’t want to abandon that, that’s understandable. If so, follow the Xlast strategy: yes, continue to post on Ex-Twitter when that’s important for work, but do it a bit slowly and less interactively.
- Don’t treat Fedi like late-period twitter, when you were picky about who you followed and humble about who you interacted with. Treat it like early-period twitter, when we all followed quite a few randos, and said things like “hi” and “thanks for sharing that!” It’s a small town, not the big city.

Hackaday ☛ FLOSS Weekly Episode 767: Owntracks, Are We There Yet?
This week Jonathan Bennett and Jeff Massie talk with JP Mens about Owntracks, the collection of programs that lets you take back control of your own location data. It’s built around the simple idea of taking position data from a mobile phone or other data source, sending it over MQTT to a central server, and logging that data to a simple data store.
