Robin Sloan sieht das Ende der großen Social-Media-Plattformen kommen und beschreibt dies als Chance, wieder selbst das Web zu gestalten.

Let 2023 be a year of exper­i­men­ta­tion and invention!

In seinem Lab-Newsletter möchte er das nächste Jahr über die Projekte sammeln, die genau das versuchen.
