I've noticed a small wave of new people making their way to Mastodon from the birdsite.

Here is my brief Mastodon guide for social media worriers that may prove useful for making yourself more at home.

This is a concerning chart, showing number of reported “close friends” in decline between 1990 and 2021.

Would really like to see or explore more research into the concept of close friends and how this has changed over the past decades along with the reinvention of the word “friend” by Facebook.

#Wellbeing

Diagram showing Decline in friendship. Percentage who report having a certain number of close friends, not counting their relatives.

The tiers from left to right are “No close friends”, 1 friend, 2 friends, 3 friends, 4 friends, 5 friends, 6-9 friends and 10+friends.

Numbers have clearly shifted from the higher number of friends to the lower numbers.

Numbers from left to right for Men
in 1990: 0%, 0%, 8%, 9%, 7%, 13%, 15%, 40%
in 2021: 15%, 6%, 12%, 16%, 9%, 14%, 12%, 15%

Numbers from left to right for Women
in 1990: 0%,6%,13%,9%19%,13%,28%
in 2021: 10%, 8%, 14%, 17%, 12%,13%,13%,11%

Sources: American Perspectives Survey, May 2021; Gallup 1990.

On November 10 it will be 25 years since I registered axbom.com for blogging. How does one celebrate a quarter century of indie blogging?

I guess I'll write a blog post...

Great interview with Meredith Whittaker, president of Signal. Well worth a read for anyone curious about messaging apps and security.

Interested in learning more about security/integrity issues of using LinkedIn as the only login provider.

Questioning this decision in an online service.

Just horrible... 😢

"RealPage discourages bargaining with renters and has even recommended that landlords in some cases accept a lower occupancy rate in order to raise rents and make more money."

People arguing that taking the time to protect human wellbeing will stifle innovation is a special kind of evil logic.

@aynish Interesting service. But the RSS feed contains the whole story, so any RSS reader can be used I suppose? I read them in Feedbin.

Of course, if you get a Medium link sent to you, scribe.rip would make sense. Thanks for making me aware of it.

I'm not a fan of the Medium algorithm either, but it may be valuable to know you can subscribe to people and topics as RSS feeds. No need to miss your favorite authors at the same time as you definitely don't need the Medium app.
