So I am listening to Dave Winer talk about WordPress and The fediverse, and just had to try Wordland and I am now using it to write a post— it’s gonna happen!
What happens next?
Is it perfectly imperfect?

Hi Alan,
I think WordLand is perfectly simple. I’ve not listened to the podcast yet, but have been following WordLand and FeedLand development a bit. I keep getting DS106 vibes from the hints of a social network featuring/based on RSS.
This was the podcast
https://openchannels.fm/exploring-wordpress-textcasting-and-open-web-standards/
I had not seen much of anything in Feedland but smiled when I tried to add my blogs feed and it was already there, added by John Johnston.
I think Dave was describing some kind of new way of replying to posts.
Almost finished with the podcast and it’s a “fun” listen – fun in quotes because Dave is a character. I tried Wordland a bit ago on my wordpress.com blog. It’s still early days as with most of this stuff, but you and I are on the ilk that find this kind of thing amazing! See you in Wordland (as apposed to AndyLand).
Indeed, that was the first time I heard Winer talk, but its absolutely the single voice of his blog writing.
I do object some to the global conclusion on blog comments being broken/dead etc. Just witness this conversation! Sure its problematic with spam and a large amount of dropped participation but its still rich in niches. I barely get the comment audience of say Jim Groom and Brian Lamb (on those occaisions he blogs, tossing shade your way, amigo), but still when I get comments 8 years later on a post about some numbers on the bottom of an old rocking chair… it aint dead.
