No worries! I’ve sent two emails to the first email mentioned on that page, hello@signalise.coop, but haven’t received a reply yet (I sent these on 2nd and 5th of September). When do you think I could expect a response?

Wow, we did it! We have officially achieved a new all-time-high ARR at Buffer 🎉

Our previous all-time-high was $22,384,598 on February 6, 2020. Today, our ARR stands at $22,395,427.

This milestone has been 5 years in the making for us, it's going to take a little time to sink in for me personally!

Joona Orpana ja Mervi Kärkkäinen

Kaksi ehdokasta Töölöstä.
Kaksi mainosta Töölöläisessä.
Kaksi puoluetta, kaksi asennemaailmaa.

Kumpaa näistä Helsinki tarvitsee?

Aika selvä peli, sanoisin.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.

It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Long Playn kirje: Tapahtuiko Yhdysvalloissa juuri vallankaappaus? "Lailla ja protokollalla ei nyt ollut väliä.”

Hanna @hannanik.bsky.social kirjoittaa aiheesta, jota olen aika obsessiivisesti seurannut koko viikon: miten journalistiset mediat käsittelevät Muskin vallankaappausta. Jos luet yhden artikkelin tänään, toivottavasti se on tämä. mailchi.mp/longplay.fi/...

Takki nurin. Vuonna 2020 Donald Trump halusi kieltää Tiktokin. Ei enää. Kiinan ja Venäjän suitsiminen on turvallisuuskysymys mutta Elon Muskin rajoittaminen sensuuria.

TikTok on ollut politiikan kiistakapulana useampaan otteeseen, mutta nyt somealustojen politisoituessa se onnistuu alustana näyttäytymään neutraalina. Oivallus tuli kun juttelimme @oskarionninen.bsky.social kanssa tätä juttua varten. Mainio terävä teksti ylipäätään!

Kolumni | Riippumaton virkamies on kansanvallan asialla Yhdysvaltojen nykyinen tilanne on myös Suomen näkökulmasta kauhukuva siitä, mitä voi tapahtua, kun kansakunnan ideologinen kahtiajako etenee liian pitkälle.

Lukusuositus Antero Mukan erinomaiselle ja tärkeälle kolumnille: Riippumaton virkamies on kansanvallan asialla. #oikeusvaltio #demokratia #hallinto #riippumattomuus

The people should own the town square It is more important than ever that the social web is not controlled by corporations. Today, Mastodon is taking another step towards its founding ideals: independence and non-profit ownership. We're t...

It’s great to see Mastodon transitioning to steward-ownership to become a real global town square, one that is owned by the people. Perhaps Bluesky should follow suit?

Breaking the Status Quo A vision for a new WordPress era WordPress is at a crossroads, now even more clearly then when I wrote my previous post on WordPress’s roadmap. I had very much intended to leave this topic alone for…

It's clear the #WordPress world needs a change. So I wrote a post about exactly that:

Search is one of the most profitable businesses online. Imagine if all its profits would be used for tackling climate change. That’s what steward-owned search engine Ecosia is doing. It is completely bootstrapped and donates all its profits (nearly 100 million euros do far) towards climate action.

Chart showing Buffer crossing $20M in ARR

Today is a special day at @buffer.com - we just crossed $20M in ARR 🎉🚀

What makes it extra special, is that this is the second time we've reached this milestone. It's been a years-long whole-team effort to achieve the turnaround.

Yesterday Suzanne Innes-Stubb, spouse of the President of the Republic of Finland, welcomed the audience of the traditional independence day reception wearing shoes and earrings she had rented from a peer-to-peer clothing sharing platform Robes Rental. A great day for circular economy!

As open social advances, I really appreciate/recommend the @openvibe.social client—and hope that they can find a user-accountantable business model. Seems like a perfect case for a co-op.

I highly recommend following Justin if you’re an indie hacker or a bootstrapping entrepreneur, which are topics close to my heart, as that describes wellthe vast majority of our audience ar Sharetribe (and while we technically didn’t bootstrap, I think very similarly about building companies)

Leaving Twitter for Bluesky After 15 years and 50,000 tweets on Twitter/X, I'm moving to Bluesky, which (in the last month) has become 1,000x more fun than X.

I got my inspiration to join Bluesky from @mijustin.bsky.social who wrote an excellent post on his transition from X to Bluesky (it also has great tips for importi h your X contacts and what to do after you join):
