  • That’s your opinion there’s people that believe it is. There’s people that don’t believe anything that isn’t ActivityPub is a part of the Fediverse which is strange because the term was used well before ActivityPub. But I get what you’re saying from a protocol perspective I can more so agree from your angle







  • That is a rare case. If people actually cared and kept their word most non-maga owned news outlets would be out of business. Yet, people still watch, read and subscribe to those outlets despite them constantly posting about how crappy those orgs are. People are creatures of comfort. I imagine most that cancelled their subscriptions turned them right back on once they heard Kimmel was no longer suspended. Most major retailers and companies that dropped their DEI policies saw little to no loss.

    Companies respond to big money, if enough people turned away from those companies they’d behave very differently


  • Holy smokes this is one of the best responses I’ve ever seen on the internet. Thanks for the information, breakdown and sources. One of the problems I’ve seen since the mass use of social media is that no matter the persons background so many people do the bare minimum. What I mean is they fall for clickbait headlines, only read the headlines, fail to check multiple sources. I get not everyone is a researcher but since we have computers in our hands it takes literally seconds to do searches. Your research helped piece so much together and I hope the family absolutely destroys this company and make it a deterrent for others to misuse these treatments



  • I would argue that’s centralisation. Instances are inherently centralised, they own the user identity, relationships and data. A user “migration” which isn’t really a migration it’s an alt account on another server, if that server is blocking or is blocked then that users social graph can be significantly impacted. There’s no way to really migrate their content.






  • I get what you lot are getting at but my objection is this, at least when it comes to the Mastodon part of the Fediverse it gets advertised as the nicest social experiences. Mastodon not the Fediverse has a moat on civility, some of the most nasty experiences I’ve seen people have is on fedi. That creates a very different expectation and thus people don’t want to hear “that’s the internet for you”. If it wasn’t marketed as such then I’d completely agree with the points being made.
