单集简介 ...

Over the past year we’ve been working with the podcast “Search Engine” on a project that reimagines what the internet can be. What if instead of rage-baiting, a social platform incentivized friendly interaction and good faith discussion? Today we’re bringing “Hard Fork” listeners an episode we made with the “Search Engine” team called “The Fediverse Experiment” where we end up creating our own social media platform.   Guest: PJ Vogt, host of the podcast “Search Engine.”  Additional Reading:  The Dream of the Fediverse Is Alive on ThreadsWhat Is Mastodon and Why Are People Leaving Twitter for It?  We want to hear from you. Email us at hardfork@nytimes.com. Find “Hard Fork” on YouTube and TikTok. Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

  • Well, Casey, we've got something different for hard fork listeners today.

  • We are dropping in a special Tuesday episode,

  • and this is an episode that we've been working on for a very long time.

  • We're very excited to bring it to our listeners.

  • It might be, Kevin,

  • the first episode in the history of hard fork that took more than one week to make.

  • In fact, it took more than one year to make.

  • So more than a year ago, we started chatting with friend of the pod, PJ Vote,
