I love it. There’s a poll ongoing about whether folks would ban a Meta (Instagram/Facebook) instance and people are like “well, I’d give them the benefit of the doubt.”
I really have no words.
Is it learned helplessness? Stockholm Syndrome? Masochism? Something else?
@aral I think this highlights the need to make ActivityPub a more diverse network where Mastodon isn't the only big player, but also things like #Castopod, #PeerTube or the efforts of #ForgeFed.
This doesn't really answer the question *, sure clients will have various monetization models (though WTH is transactions). The issue is what is the server/Bluesky PBLLC business model?
Are they going to start putting ads in the feed? Are they going to charge users or clients for access? Stay free and make it up in volume? I have no clue, not sure anyone does either.

geez, thanks
You can report problematic posts or profiles by clicking their ⋯ button and selecting "Report".
Remember to include links to problematic posts in your report. This saves the moderators a LOT of time, and means the moderation will happen much more quickly and accurately.
If possible, select the option to anonymously tell the account holder's server too. They can shut down the account if necessary. (However, if their server is problematic too, it might be best not to use this option.)
I just tested today that, when I reported recent spammer's comment on my #PeerTube video and the report was hastily approved, that sick comment didn't federate throughout most servers. Email notification was timely, hehe. In other scenario, it would likely still be visible to users of wider #Fediverse, as what I witness with one that I was slower to catch on.
I was thinking earlier that it would be pretty cool to have an #ActivityPub-powered app that uses something like the old #WordPress#PostFormats feature that, in turn, supports post formats that other #Fediverse services use.
For example, the app can post regular posts like this one, structured link posts that work with services like #Lemmy, galleries through @pixelfed and videos through #Peertube.
Unless #ActivityPub automatically reformats posts based on what they contain when a user of services like these receives them in their feeds? I'm not sure how this works under the metaphorical hood. 🤔
PeerTube Companion, a Firefox extension, will redirect you to a PeerTube version of a video, when trying to reach it from YouTube -- if it's available on PeerTube.
It's under heavy development, so use at your own risk.
This is great because, similar to people moving from #Twitter tk #Mastodon, we get here and don't know anyone, and it's like moving music apps. Your playlists are all gone.
So if I can move from #Youtube to #Peertube and my subscriptions are already there, it would make the move so much easier!
OK, had to close then open new accounts on #visionontv#peertube because of #spam, the spam is starting agen - the is an update that allows you to put new accounts on ask/moderation, we need to upgrade at some point to get this.
List of fedi platforms I have tried/use in no particular order:
#Mastodon
Probably most of you reading this is using it, but overall it's a fairly user friendly platform and has gotten people into the fediverse
#PixelFed
Tbh haven't used it much but it seems like it has good potential
Not my kind of thing, but for those who like things more like instagram I'd check it out
#Calckey
What I'm currently using, I really like it so far
It's beautiful and feature-rich
#PeerTube
I use it occasionally as it has some media I do enjoy, but I do wish more people would upload to it
#Funkwhale
Same issue with peertube, not having many people upload
Also felt kinda wonky to work with but may have been the instances I tried
I would like to end this by saying, try new things on fedi
It helps keep the ecosystem healthy and you may find something you like more
I clicked it and got an ad for idk what. And some popup to see if I wanted to join. I probably got tracked, though I don't have a google or youtube account.
One of the things I love about the Fediverse is that it is growing in about 8 different directions and they all cohere.
From #Fedidb look at the top software undergirding the Fedi:
#Pixelfed, #WordPress, #Microblog#Peertube are all playing substantial roles...but are not "forks' of Mastodon but are entirely different apps, which benefit from Mastodon, and give value back to it. And are one Fediverse.
How we ran a 300+ attendee conference online using an open source stack including tech like #Jitsi, #PeerTube, and #Matrix / #Element - and attendees had a great experience!
