Any video recommendations? I've now watched the Leaf Corcoran (itch.io) one, (https://xoxofest.com/2016/videos/leaf-corcoran/), the Maciej Ceglowski (pinboard.in) one (https://xoxofest.com/2013/videos/maciej-ceglowski/), and the James Swirsky & Lisanne Pajot (Indie Game: The Movie) one (https://xoxofest.com/2012/videos/james-swirsky-lisanne-pajot...). These are making me nostalgic for the early 2010s.
Both of Darius Kazemi's, in 2014 on generative art and more broadly about how success is effectively random and how shipping things, anything, no matter how small, fuels creativity: https://xoxofest.com/2014/videos/darius-kazemi/
and 2024, about his Hometown fork of Mastodon for small, more insular groups that still wanted some, but not all, features of federation, and more broadly about what responsibilities social media should have and fulfill in society: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy6l92bFxtQ
