For A Better Web #3: Evan Prodromou (Social Web Foundation)
(Last Updated on )
In this podcast series, I interview people from across different communities and industries who, in their own way, are fighting for a better web. In this episode, my guest is Evan Prodromou, Research Director of the newly-launched Social Web Foundation. We discuss interconnected social networks and ActivityPub, the open standard that Evan co-authored which enables cross-platform connections, how this tech reshapes online interactions, and the Foundation’s work to support digital rights and diversity. We also go into key topics like privacy, content control, and the importance of diverse voices in social media.
As this is my blog, I’m assuming you are strong-stomached enough to tolerate seeing my face on YouTube – but if not, the audio and transcript is available on the Vivaldi blog, with links to all the podcasty places.
