If you're wondering what happens during the @24vhsmarathon2023 , you can take a look at one of last year's productions.

This is "Kender Du Typen?" - featuring Winnie Arnum Handberg and Claus Ejner as the lifestyle experts (Anne and Flemming), @kzxpr as the host (Mads), and @Nils as the mystery guest living at @amok

PODCAST ON :
"There's a growing sense that the internet – or at least the big sites we use all the time like , and – is becoming worse. Instead of seeing what's best for us at the top of our searches, we're seeing more and more of what makes the tech giant the most money pop to the top. Cory calls it ‘Enshittification.' He explains how it works."

Great reflections by @oblomov on entering the . I'm not sure if I support a altogether, but I still think the analysis works great.

Oblomov's overall assumption is that Meta will make a fedi platform only to "embrace, extend and extinguish". That is:
"when (not if, but when) it will defederate, it'll push a lot of people to move from the Fediverse to to remain in contact with the people there."
Almost like a platform made to fail just to gain more users.

One central quote to me, however, is this: "But interaction with users from other platforms does not raise awareness of the existence of these other platforms, as we see with Mastodon even now: a lot of people interact with users on other platforms and remain blissfully unaware, because Mastodon hides this information, both by hiding the platform of origin and by crippling content that isn't just short notes with no formatting."

I think this really hits the nail: The principle of the fediverse's philosophy is not just federation/interoperability. It also needs to design for / , and it should always require freedom of between platforms.
