I was on @mike's Dot Social podcast to talk about Mastodon, #Threads (not the 1984 movie), and the social web. If you've got questions about any of those things, maybe we've covered them!

Mastodon is going to have a new intern thanks to @zdfmagazin. @ErikUden appeared on the show to talk about online privacy and received an unexpected prize. 🙂
