RIP Mark Pheonix

I'm not sure if anyone on here knew of him but my best friend the extraordinary rapper Mark Pheonix (yes, "the E before the O") passed away this morning. I don't have pretty stuff to say yet as I'm still going through it, but I just felt I'd share to get the word around. 🕊️

A beat/song I made earlier this week dedicated to my lost homeless friend Mark. I found out last night he's currently on the ICU (and apparently has been in and out of hospitals getting dialysis treatment for some months now). Mental health is no joke... I have so many regrets, wishing I knew more

"Blacksky is a [...] ethnocentric social network" Only singling out this part because y'all know it's just called that right? Quite a few non-black people use Blacksky and its services lol It's far from a digital ethnostate.

Since the pronouns labeler is gone.

Happy New Year! Hope you all had a good holiday. It’s shaping up to be a great year on the open social web! We’ve been busy working on new features, internal improvements, bug fixes, and exploring new networks over the last couple months. Here are the noticeable […] [Original post on snarfed.org]

Hello atmosphere ! Over the last few weeks, a bunch of us have been collaborating on a new set of lexicons for publishing, indexing, and building out social features across long-form reading and writing apps ! 🧵1/7

Wikipedia is truly one of the greatest things on the Internet. It is absolutely incredible, and must be preserved at all costs.

Happy New Year, #BlackSky

Gamers care about there being a standard across a genre too much. Somethings would be great but sometimes the differences are for the best and give texture

That part! A lot of classic TV shows have gone off the air for this very reason

Hentai. feat. Mark Pheonix Recorded by @ford4d.com Produced by Me. Cover art by Me. A song I made a long time ago that wasn’t released because I’m still waiting on a 3rd verse from somebody lol. Def a song about sex, but lowkey about body positivity too. soundcloud.com/lucid00/hentai #Rap

One of my most popular songs. Also, "C.Minor" is his old stage name. Unfortunately, I don't think he has a blue sky account yet soundcloud.com/ly3t-85/wth-... #blueskymusic #rnb #areandbe #hiphop #music #Independentartist

Just sharing that I have released a rappity rap hip-hop song. soundcloud.com/lucid00/cut-... 🎵🎶

Earlier that year, I wrote about “captive atria”, the idea of insidious commercial capture of seemingly-public space. This is pertinent! https://anildash.com/2012/03/05/captive_atria_and_living_in_public/

In this piece from more than a decade ago about “the web we lost”, I discussed the loss of interoperability and a decentralized web; the talk included there covers the absence of public space in our digital communities. Maybe still worth revisiting. https://anildash.com/2012/12/13/the_web_we_lost/

Good time to repost this one. Going to add some other reasons below

This account will eventually be run mostly by an RSS feed bot of some kind, we're just still sorting that out.
