Nieman Lab: “The creator of Sill says “the death of the link” has had disastrous consequences for journalism, art, and the web. His free social media tool entered public beta on Friday.  The link collection tool Sill is now available to all Bluesky and Mastodon users, the app’s creator Tyler Fisher announced on Friday. If you remember the news aggregator app Nuzzel, you’ll be familiar with the basic concept of Sill. (Twitter shut down Nuzzel after acquiring the startup that operated it, Scroll, in 2021. People miss it.) In short, Sill shows the most popular links being shared by accounts you follow on Bluesky and Mastodon. For most Nieman Lab readers, that means your Sill experience will include a lot of news. On Monday, my top story was a ProPublica piece about a third woman who has died under an abortion ban in Texas. Another top story was about a startup called Spines that seeks to “disrupt” the publishing business by using AI to publish 8,000 books in 2025. Click on “Shared by 9 accounts” and I could see the individual posts — or skeets and toots — with what people said about those links.”
