@m0bi @LukaszHorodecki @bluszcz no ja co jakiś czas odpływam i wracam do Fediverse. To chyba efekt uboczny braku algorytmu, który by nakręcał i antagonizował userów. Ale jednak zawsze wracam i zawsze widzę kilka znanych twarzy i trochę nowych. Fedi może nie zwojuje świata, ale stale rośnie.

IMO #fedi nie powstało, by "zwojować świat", tylko żeby dać alternatywę.
I daje alternatywę.
I robi to dobrze dla wszystkich osób, które tej alternatywy chcą i potrzebują.

A to że trzeba sobie znaleźć, a nie dostaje się podsunięte na talerzu, to IMO feature, nie bug 😉

No i możesz sobie wracać, a ono jest, masz do czego wracać.

Póki ludziom będzie się chciało robić fedi, to ono będzie. Próba "przejęcia" fedi przez Meta się nie udała. Threats to jakaś nisza. Fedi się obroniło. No i nie jest na sprzedaż, więc żadne "inwestory" z VC (Venture Capital) go nie spieprzą i nie zmonetyzują.

It's just absurd to me how people think community means talking to people any kind of way, then saying they are 'attacking' you when we push back on it.

That's some white people shit.

For criticism to be effective, there has to be an understood context that the giver of that criticism actually cares about the targets well-being.

The fedi keeps skipping over the human part of what community is and then bitterly complaining when people reject them.

Being a cop doesn't make people trust your intentions.

I feel like people get mad at fedi like it's one place. It's not one place..

The diagrams on the left and right are "One Place". Either Centralized, or Decentralized-centralization.

Mastodon (sites like it, and #ActivityPub in general) work like the *middle* graph..

A wide variety of whole communities could very well be the "three" planets in the lower left of the middle graph, unfederated from larger collectives.

#fedi is more than just moderation tools, it's community tools.

A cartoon of 3 graphs, depicting technical implementations of social networks

Graph 1, a planet with many lines leaving it, centralized, you're the leaf, the planet is the center, that's what connects everyone (think facebook, linkedin, discord, et al)

Graph 2, a federated graph (think Mastodon, GoToSocial, ActivityPub). Multiple planets, each representing a community, with lines between the planets which associate with each other. So a patchwork of planets with 0+n connects to any other. Not all planets connect to all planets. Some planets are depicted as only connected to each other, BUT THAT'S HEALTHY FEDERATION. Not everywhere needs to be connected to everywhere, that's the point of moderation, AND of federation.

Graph 3, A bunch of planets all connected to each other, everywhere. It's effectively decentralized-centralization. (think Bluesky), even if you create another planet, it just gets connected back to all other planets anyway. All focus is on the moderation tools, and no way to disconnect from bad planets anywhere in the network, nor a way to escape the one-of-these-planets-runs-the-whole-protocol-and-could-kick-your-planet-out-with-just-an-update. — A cartoon of 3 graphs, depicting technical implementations of social networks Graph 1, a planet with many lines leaving it, centralized, you're the leaf, the planet is the center, that's what connects everyone (think facebook, linkedin, discord, et al) Graph 2, a federated graph (think Mastodon, GoToSocial, ActivityPub).

Evidently, I ruffled some feathers of a certain sort of people on a "Quiet Public" discussion by saying something that's not even that crazy.

They're reporting me en masse, even reporting posts that are completely unrelated to that discussion. They're seething because they can't accept that not everyone is going to have the same opinion on the Fediverse.

They want an echo chamber. Don't let them have it. Stand for digital freedom.

Note to #fedi that #Catodon is being relaunched but is being built via #LLM because Panos believes being poor means he shouldn't be shamed for using a tool he acknowledges is extremely harmful. He also thinks that because airplanes are bad for the environment it's fine to use #AI

People need to be aware that the relaunched Catadon is both unsafe and unethical. Panos has also claimed that it's "elitist" to criticize LLM usage.

Every once in a great while, an account will follow on #Mastodon that has such ignorant takes on life that i discover it's actually beneficial to follow back in order to block or mute #boosts by them.

It's like a #fedi flytrap and when it's full of flies, you throw it away.

Idk why but it's usually self proclaimed #anarchists who do nothing in this world but talk themselves in circles here.

I mean, i was an #anarchist too, then i graduated high school long ago.
