Does the Fediverse give you hope?
-
Cool idea!
-
I think it's unhealthy to suggest we have no control over the world. Invidiually, yes we have very little influence, but collectively, we have tremendous power to influence the world. To believe otherwise simply ensures others who will act and believe they can influence things will dominate over those who believe they are impotent.
-
I hope. :-D. I'm no Dev, but I enjoy talking to people and I really believe In the Fediverse so just trying to contribute anyway I can to make it a more welcoming and interesting place.
-
No, the Fediverse is full of conservatives. The technology is great, but the people here suck.
-
Yeah, being banned because a mod didn't like you was the worst thing on Reddit. Especially if they modded multiple subs and banned you from a subreddit you never even came close to breaking the rules on. Some Reddit mods were just assholes.
-
I'm curious about this too
-
But the point is, you have freedom to choose whatever instance and thus whatever level of moderation you want. I'm not saying censorship is impossible here, that's just not the argument. The thing is, you aren't locked in to the control of a specific group/owner/company. If you don't like the way things are being run, skip to somewhere else, or alternatively make your own instance.
For people who value freedom the most, you can choose a platform with less moderation, and thereby accepting the risks that come with it. For people who value a more safe, stable and curated platform, choose one with more/stricter moderation.

Bruh, I've been tracking it for years and the fediverse was dead before the Reddit exodus. Now I can have discussions about fantasy football without going on Reddit or X
-
If you don't want to argue about it then don't bring it up.
-
Help yourself.
-
that train of thought isn’t very productive
It's not supposed to be productive, it's just an observation of reality and an answer to OP's question.
ask ourselves why people are choosing BlueSky over Mastodon
Because they're once again choosing convenience over user-centric platforms.
That and custom user-generated algorithms.

My setup is quite complex and I have 1000+ MAU so we're not a small instance anymore. That said we use hetzner, ovh, and mailgun. Our hosting hosts are more than 100 per month but I could probably be running a bit cheaper if I wanted, but this way we have easy growing space.

Nothing gives me hope these are the darkest times ever

Hey drag
Auth Left is still leftist even if they're anti lgbt -
It gives me hope, but hope for a slightly better future; not for a cure for fundamental ills of online communities.
-
No, it's continued relative unpopularity in the face of universal hated-but-contined-use of the mainstream networks continues to be depressing.
Although the onboarding process for most of the major fediverse platforms is a bit scary for normies.
-
Lmao are you censoring me, telling me not to bring it up? Weak.
-
Yeah
I mean if this is the best the left has
Trump will never get tired of winning LMAO
-
The response is to tune-in, turn-on, and drop-out.
Start making things from scratch. Stop buying shit.
Opt-out.
-
I told you not to bring it up because you said you didn't want to argue about it.
