Second speaker is @quillmatiq and he sets the stage about how this is about closed vs open, but goes on to talk about how fragmented the open side is.
Sorry, no caption provided by author
Anuj presenting - slide which shows closed networks IG, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook
And the open side are logos for Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, Pixelfed
Questions to @quillmatiq about other apps and ecosystems and ends up mentioning Sprk (open video platform, longer than what Bsky supports), Roomy (Discord chat alternative), and Germ (e2ee messaging) on the #ATProto side
@purpleidea @j12t there are many “yes ands”
Higher quality software comes from? Funding, business models, serving users that pay for things.
Lots of good nuance from @j12t in his talk about not just “social media”
I have some of these themes in my talk this afternoon about all the not-microblogging apps on #ATProto

The reveal from @j12t on how to compete is “What if we turned the entire Web social?” - there are enough “not a social media network” apps that could be recruited to adopt open protocols.
Also “think beyond the social media box” in thinking about solutions and apps and building blocks like accounts and data flows.
Ok obviously #FediCon continued, with @chris speaking on the creation of Social BC, me giving my talk, @cyberlyra giving an inspiring talk and then a panel to round out the day’s event.
A fulfilling day and evening. Thanks @reiver for all the hard work.
