bobjonkman: bobjonkman favorited something by lnxw48a1: https://500ish.com/mastodon-brought-a-protocol-to-a-product-fight-ba9fda767c6a #Medium link; don't be surprised if it does weird things before showing you the article. "Mastodon brought a protocol to a product fight" > Yes, yes, the network is under immense strain as people flee the Elon strain infecting Twitter. But come on, there are folks who really believe this is going to replace, or even stand alongside Twitter, as a massively scaled social network? I call bullshit. While it’s impressive that millions of users have apparently given Mastodon a try, the product is far too slapdash and clunky to keep folks engaged. A lump of coal. No, it isn't meant to be a #Twitter replacement. Keep your Twitter account until you no longer want it--or the company closes and the site shuts down--you can use Mastodon alongside Twitter. And the #Fediverse networks are much more than just #Mastodon. Don't think you have experienced the network and all it has to offer if all you've done is briefly tried to use Mastodon, because you haven't experienced it. > I’ve somehow avoided signing up for the service up until now. Largely because signing up was and is so comically obtuse — pick your server everyone, hope you choose wisely! Have you not used e-mail? It works the same way. You pick a server, such as Gmail or Outlook dot com, and sign up. Please tell me you realize that the people you communicate with are not all on the same e-mail service that you use. > But, but, it’s not a product, it’s a protocol. Yeah, that’s a nice thing to say. And to believe in. But I truly believe the ship has sadly sailed for such idealism in this space. Jack Dorsey can talk about how this should have been what Twitter was from the get go until he’s bluesky in the face. It’s just not going to happen. And he’s more to blame for that than most everyone else. As is he for the Elon element of this current equation. But that’s a different story. Okay, so how about this story: Twitter has only been profitable two or three years of its entire history. Since it started, it has existed by burning through investors' funds. Eventually, with or without Elon Musk's ownership, that runs out. Without such funding, their corporate-centralized ( #corpocentric ) model cannot exist very long. And same for their centralized competitors, such as Post.news, Gab, Parler, and so on. What is left is either #federated or #peer-to-peer approaches, where no single entity is responsible for funding and managing the entire network. So whether it is the #Fediverse ( with #ActivityPub and #OStatus and their successors ) & the Federation ( with #Diaspora ) or #Bluesky, or #Twister, or #NOSTR, the eventual future of #socnets is #decentralized, if not entirely peer-to-peer unless a national government takes over Facebook and Twitter in order to provide effectively unlimited resources. It is the protocol that makes it possible for thousands or millions of instances to displace and replace one big centralized instance. 1/2

"Every time you post on Twitter, you produce value for the advertisers. You tell everyone in your network there that it's OK to stay. That you're all helpless to leave. You tell the people who've lost their jobs, the people who are being hounded and harassed, that they are not important to you. You know you're going to be ashamed of it later. Just stop posting. Do it here, not there. Connect here, not there. Don't reply, don't like, don't retweet. Stop feeding your life into the machine." This was true before Elon #Musk bought #Twitter, but I guess it wasn't as important before. I don't fully agree, simply because there may be some advantages to many people who continue to use Twitter instead of moving to the #Fediverse (e.g., #GNU_Social, #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Misskey, #PixelFed, #Lenny / #Lemmy, etc) or they would have moved over already. Also, because unless one self-hosts one's own presence, an angry instance admin is all it takes to lose all posts and connections and have to start over. Or, if one has contacts on a different instance, then irate instance admins participating in #blockwars (including #fediblock) can separate the person from some portion of their contacts. So remember, everything that Twitter is or can do to you, your Fediverse instance can also do. Most instances will never do most of those things, but pretending that one is safe here could result in disappointment in the future.

lnxw48a1: @saintfury That's a sad statement. I see lots of people pursuing their own "protect our community" strategies, and so far, I've never seen a one that will work in the current, heterogeneous Fediverse or any other existing network. For example, Mastodon restricts its searches to a user's own posts. So people build their own search engines to make it possible to find people and t https://nu.federati.net/notice/3294529

lnxw48a1: https://nitter.net/BrentBeshore/status/1240030553023188992 Thread on #Twitter about the quarantine’s impact on !smallbiz (and therefore, on their owners, managers, employees, suppliers, customers). A lot of people in the #Fediverse don’t seem to understand that when the restaurants close, those employees, who already struggle to stay afloat, are left with nothing.

lnxw48a1: So instead of #Klout deciding who is popular, as on #Twitter, #Fediverse people decided that blocklist maintainers would decide? I'd rather let Klout do it. At least everyone knew they were a joke.

bobjonkman: I too am with Canadian ISP #Teksavvy. I checked my bill last month, and was surprised to find it less than I expected. Apparently they lowered prices around November 2019. A couple of years ago they upgraded to unlimited/month at no charge. No way I'm ever changing! (is #Teksavvy somewhere in the !Fediverse?) /cc @guizzy

lnxw48a1: Reminder that the original harassers on this network were users of #MastoSoc and the victims were on #SPC and other instances. Before ads about “no Nazis” brought harassers over from #Twitter and #Tumblr, the #Fediverse simply did not have this. It was get along or ignore (block) the person.

lnxw48a1: To those people that are terrified that #Twitter will adopt #AP and come to the Fediverse and steal all our people back into captivity, there is nothing to worry about. I've been using T again the past few days and: 1. the main interface feels like you're squeezed into a box; there is not enough focus on the actual tweets; it is also slow and bloated. 2. the tweetdeck interface https://nu.federati.net/notice/3208981

lnxw48a1: There are still plans to expand !fnetworks. Things are on hold due to my feast or famine employment schedule (and resulting financial peaks and valleys), but eventually, there should be multiple instances of #Fediverse software, #xmpp, and other federated things, most available under a unified Federati Networks account.

mmn: @clacke Consider if WebFinger lets you lookup URIs. This means if the URL is unavailable (domain expired etc.) data is still stored in the hive mind of the !fediverse. You wouldn't have to contact the original server, any server that had received the object would do. Wouldn't that be nice? cc: @kellerfuchs @kaniini
