Good morning!

There are some limitations here - these hashtags aren't always the best, you must choose carefully to reduce Signal to Noise ratio. Lots of people use the Fediverse tag and much is not related to the development of ActivityPub.
Ownership and wide reach - you can have both with the Open Social web. Cross posting is the default today, repackaging your message to fit the requirements of the platform itself. It doesn't have to be.

Digital Spaces and AI
Misspellings and bad grammar are now indicators of human generated discussions (this is so true, I check exactly the same thing, and thank goodness I have naturally bad typing and grammar)
"Authenticity of human interaction is what matters".

Callout to #GoToSocial from Julian about interaction controls. So true - these types of changes are faster to implement on smaller platforms. Mastodon and other large platforms can then take these ideas and incorporate them as they get fleshed out and tested.

Audience member is commenting how discussion forums can be more legible and personable. With more of a relationship being created between members than you would see in a microblogging platform.
Agreed. It's the difference between a local coffee shop and standing at the corner in Time Square and trying to talk to someone.

AI discussion going on. Julian: "No AI coding in NodeBB".
Julian lets out a big sigh, and perhaps an internal UGH with me sighing and UGHing almost in unison, lol.
It's a huge, complicated discussion, and one that the fediverse community is largely unwilling to discuss right now without a lot of screaming and finger pointing. Because, it's truly scary, especially to the tech world. Me included.

So true - mainstream socials is more about connecting to brands and being entertained by those brands. Less about making true connections with people.

YouTube adware is by far the largest funding offering for video content creators. But Patreon isn't far behind when you looked at Canadian Civil's audience specifically.

I'm not going to pretend I can understand what is being said, but let me give you a background from the official FediMTL site for this discussion:
"A reflection on the future of journalism in the age of algorithms, exploring information sovereignty, media independence, and the transformation of news platforms."
I'm gonna try this live translation thing with my apple headphones.
The speaker is @catouma

Oh..live translations on iPhone is pretty cool. I need to learn how to use this better. Still not going to make comments and quotes until I feel more confident in how this works.

@box464@mastodon.social oh I've been wanting to try that too! Especially if I'm going to be attending other conferences in non-English speaking countries.
@hongminhee@hollo.social mentioned something like this too, earlier when he was at FOSDEM
Wonder if it's available on Android and runs locally on my phone? That'd be best...

Users looking for meaningful connections to other real people. Willing to look outside of large socials for that, moreso every day and with every new generation. Moving to smaller, more meaningful communities.
