There’s no economical incentive to join the fediverse for large corporations - at least not yet. I think it’ll take another 5 years before that happens.

The [email protected] and [email protected] movements would have to become mainstream first, because let’s be honest, the fediverse is the actual contender to US social media. Although, right now it’s really fediverse vs bluesky. Once someone creates a reddit clone on top of bluesky, then the fediverse will lose that battle, because people are uncomfortable with choice.

Look back at the shit you wrote as a teenager. We were all dumb.

I never understood pinterest. I think a different interface for https://mastodon.art/ should get you most of the way there. Maybe @[email protected] has a suggestion.

Probably if you called it “fedi imageboard” it wouldn’t get such a negative reaction.

I think you’re forgetting the context of the discussion…

Not them but yes but it’s not a feature of the system, it’s a failure of the humans.

A system designed to be used by humans has an attribute bound to be exploited by humans and it’s the failure of humans for exploiting it.

That’s the problem: for communism to work, it requires perfect beings that act according to how the system is designed. Humans do not do that.

If you think metadata is worthless, I would like to make you aware about Snowden and his revelations. Look them up.

So you’re agreeing with me that it will be abused.

There’s no way that isn’t going to be abused. Some marketing or tracking agency will setup a fediverse server and just collect all data like this for free. Or worse, take advantage of a friendica instance to bombard it with requests for data collection purposes.

RIP mastodon

But it also bears repeating that decentralization by itself has no advantage, either.

Could you expand on that?

Bears repeating: it’s not.

Hopeful that some parts of the population won’t be giving all their data away. There will always be bootlickers (apple fanboys, google lovers, reddit aficionados, Musk-worshippers, …) , people who just don’t know better (too old, uninterested, ignorant, unexposed, …), and people who can’t join due to things like censorship, internet speed, or whatever else.

Normies have to play a part in generating content. Can’t expect a bunch of nerds to talk about sports. But if they’re on Xitter, probably mastodon would be the equivalent platform. They could move their discussions there.

Yeah, drop the name of fediverse platforms in discussions with your friends, share links directly to content on here, share articles about it, but don’t be obnoxious about it - you’re also a part of it, and if people associate obnoxious behavior with the fediverse, they might be less inclined to join it.

Get fucked Nintento. Get. Fucked!

What does this have to do with Steam?

What would lemmy bridge to?

Tumblr is alive?
