Does the Fediverse give you hope?

[iopq@lemmy.world]

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.

[ulrich@feddit.org]

Help yourself.

[ulrich@feddit.org]

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

[pugjesus@lemmy.world]

It gives me hope, but hope for a slightly better future; not for a cure for fundamental ills of online communities.

[periodicallypedantic@lemmy.ca]

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.

[cmlvi@lemmy.world]

Lmao are you censoring me, telling me not to bring it up? Weak.

[shardikprime@lemmy.world]

Yeah

I mean if this is the best the left has

Trump will never get tired of winning LMAO

[krudler@lemmy.world]

The response is to tune-in, turn-on, and drop-out.

Start making things from scratch. Stop buying shit.

Opt-out.

[ulrich@feddit.org]

I told you not to bring it up because you said you didn't want to argue about it.

[apollosarrow@lemmy.world]

It does give me hope, but I also worry it may be a double edged sword and opening pandora’s box. There are way too many ideologies here that aren’t democracy. Given how easy the public was brain washed by Trump, I fear this may be an avenue to expose those people to things that probably shouldn’t even be crossing their minds.

[pilferjinx@lemmy.world]

Lemmy is very harsh to most people. People that think liberal means the Democrats.

[cmlvi@lemmy.world]

Idk. Dictating what I can or can't say based on your personal beliefs seems an awful lot like an attempt to censor me. I can only speak if I'm willing to argue every single thing? Don't tread on me, bro.

[ulrich@feddit.org]

I think ydk. It really seems like you just want to argue about whatever you possibly can.

[cmlvi@lemmy.world]

Lol coming from the one who started off with the "ackshually, by definition..." argument

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

Corporations might accidentally help if they try to make their own instancss, like if you sign up with google to join the fediverse, realize most instances block googles because its corporate, then they make an account at non corporate version.

I think the best way for it to grow would be making it easy to self host, yunohost maes it pretty easy, but more managed hosting options competing or more of the big ones offering it would go a long way.

Based we are all doomed
