Three weeks since I stopped posting to Threads. I don’t miss it. If they ever actually finish the ActivityPub rollout, I’ll migrate my followers to Micro.blog and keep avoiding Meta. Your milage may vary.

I am soft launching something today. Typically my personal response to times of crisis is to just go back to what I know, which is putting very sad, minimalist songs out into the world. This time, I wanted to do an audio sketchbook to document my daily guitar practice. It's just raw song ideas straight from my acoustic into my phone. Some of them are pretty ok.
I'll be syndicating posts from this to Mastodon – mostly in the form of audio posts that themselves are just little song ideas. It's hardly a commitment, and you might find them soothing. Anyway, here's this for now:

I can see grassroots #indieweb stuff like this becoming very useful, as search engines are overwhelmed by LLM and sponsored post slop.

"text": "[Wes Davis at The Verge]\n\nInteresting announcement from the European Commission:\"The European Union says Twitter alternative Bluesky violates the EU Digital Services Act rules around information disclosure, reports Reuters. But since Bluesky isn\u2019t yet big enough to be considered a \u201cvery large online platform\u201d under the DSA, the regulator says it can\u2019t regulate Bluesky the way it does X or Threads.\"All platforms doing business in the EU need to have a dedicated page on their website that enumerates how many users they have in the EU. Bluesky isn't big enough for the DSA to actually be enforceable yet, but this raises interesting questions about how they would do this - or how any decentralized system would go about this. Will Bluesky need to start tracking location, or even KYC information?
