This week I wrote about fediverse as a countercultural place for pop culture, and how that affects goals to bring the fediverse into the mainstream

As well as the news:

  • @iftas announces that due to a lack of funding, they will likely have to wind down some crucial services for safety on the fediverse
  • Tapestry is a new "timeline" app by @Iconfactory

As someone who watched the super bowl and actively looked at posts in the fediverse on my second screen, I think that @[email protected] missed out on posts because he looked under the "superbowl" hashtag which had been taken over by people posting owls. Quite a few posts about the game and the halftimeshow happened under inconsistent hashtags like #nfl, #sblix, #superbowllix, #halftimeshow, #superbowl2025, #superbowlhalftime, #kcvsphi, etc. Some people used no hashtags at all and I found their posts by fulltext-searching for terms like "Mahomes". Mainly seemed to me like people werent in agreement with each other on which hashtag to use for their posts.
