johannab@cosocial.ca on Digital Third Spaces!
Back in the day forums were that digital third space. Social media took that over and they've dropped the ball.
Let's bring them back (with more forums obviously)
Someone's got Mastodon open on their device with sound on and it keeps dinging, and I'm having a Pavlovian urge to check my phone.
I don't even use the Mastodon web app wth
Analog or digital, humans are the glue that holds together third spaces.
johannab@cosocial.ca making the assertion that fedi can make a better third space (digitally)
reiver@mastodon.social with a surprise demo of CrowdBucks! A new way to help fund the fediverse.
Congrats chad@mstdn.ca for winning the FediCon swag competition. Move over stickers here's a MUG.

TLDR; but if it's akin to a viable microparyment service, then let's use it to pay rights holders for their IP. It could be commission-free small amounts that are still greater than the royalties proprietary incumbents pay and could attract a critical mass through a/ better pay & b/ ethical tech.
@reiver
@julian I hadn’t noticed the sound at all until I read this post, now I can’t stop hearing the ding too hahaha
@julian
I forget who caught me in the after party chaos and so wisely noted that Social Media != Social Network and among my FediUrbanism 2.0 revisions needs to be the idea that an online Social Network can possibly come closest to a true Third Space, but Social Media contains too many antithetical attributes.
