i dont care that meta owns threads. its just another server.

im going to be the change i want to see. i want to educate people on what they have the opportunity for and maybe not generalize on what an entire, diverse population of humans ‘wants’.

i think the new paradigm of the distributed fediverse is going to take a long time to propagate to the masses. its going to be lots of platforms advertising their corner of the 'verse and the features they permit… but we really need to get the idea of the ‘fediverse’ into their heads that its content accessible by any of those platforms.

the thing ive noticed is no one cares about ‘sites’ anymore… the kids all want ‘apps’ which is drivin me bonkers. spent decades building mobile-friendly, dynamic viewports only for them to get ignored cuz kids dont want to type in a URL/domain.

well, until they release all the code, and allow full federation its not a federating platform. end of story.

there is a critical ‘relay’ component that only they control. so you can setup your own ‘node’, but only connected to their instance.

only a single instance of the relay exists and they are not releasing that code and a few other pieces. it federates only with itself.

seriously.

please show me a single, fully independant instance of their platform that federates.

you cant, because it doesnt exist.

i think their point is if you want to comment make a google account and comment… or dont.

personally, it boggles the mind why anyone would want to do that.

beauty. this should make leaving to other fediverse platforms more attractive to that audience.

yep. people just don’t understand how big the universe is.

be the change you want to see. offer alternatives to subs pissed about over moderation, ads and bot activity. some instances still let you create your own communities, like mine https://moist.catsweat.com

id go a step further and say you need to draw a sub to a specific community. its hard moving users though when reddit actually attempts to prevent it by banning you for trying.

its a religion created by a sci-fi writer for monetary gain. he told everyone he was going to do so, and then did it… but just as with every religion once there is a critical mass of idiots, people think it’s “real”.

dude, youre still alive? congrats

naaw rollerblades are too easy. get him some quads. chicks dig the quads

A firehose relay takes TB’s of storage

which is similar nonsense which ActivityPub has with replicating whole datasets everywhere… cept its one company controlling the whole shebang. its a failure of design.

ive been asking about this for a long time. ive yet to be presented with a non-bluesky controlled relay instance. this is a lynch-pin of the protocol and prevents true federation.

happy to be proven wrong someday, but bluesky is just twitter with user-contolled nodes. they can decide to remove nodes at their whim.

mbin does this by default;

that friend from highschool you lost touch with but find out theyre a meth head living on the streets.

gotta wonder who took the pic
