I don't think Mastodon will fail. I like the people I've met here by and large, but I am still extremely concerned by the way defederation can work at the server level as opposed to the user level and it doesn't seem like most think this is a problem. I want to reach the wider world and vice versa without being invisibly prevented from doing so. Maybe this is selfish of me, but if I'm honest that's my use case for social media. I want news and information and discourse and while Mastodon is making strides, if the fediverse is just going to unilaterally cut off a huge part of the world, I will have a choice to make on where to have my main presence.

Looks like it's to promote Volume 106 of the manga.

This article sums up the issues I have with the #Fediverse quite comprehensively. I want this to work out. I don't wan to go back to Musk's hellpit. I'm just becoming frustrated.

paisley_peinforte,

@FinchHaven That reaction is exactly what the article's talking about.

This is the typical "fuck you, I already got mine" attitude that enrages me about the wealthy and powerful.

xogium, to mastodon

Here's one thing I dislike about mastodon.

I've got a friend that I'd like very much to follow from another instance. Problem? His instance is blocking mine. There is absolutely nothing I can do, besides writing to the mods of my instance and ask them why it is blocked, which I have a pretty good idea as to why already anyway, thanks to a friend we have in common. And all of that so I can talk to this one friend over there? Bloody unlikely they would reconsider.

I should be able to bypass that block for a specific user. I'm really, really annoyed right now, and sad I won't be able to follow this friend unless one of us move to another instance. I don't want to move and I'm pretty sure neither does he. So... We're both screwed over, I guess. #mastodon

paisley_peinforte,

@xogium This is why I wish the Fediverse was set up in a more peer-to-peer manner where the sole blocking power comes from the user. Why can't we be able to "block all users from server X except for user Y"?

I definitely think part of The Verge’s commentary is sexism. This idea that tech is for men or that perhaps because the Fediverse is a little bit technical means women can’t do it. It’s like something from the 1920s. Not including the fact that women have been programmers since Ada Lovelace and beyond.

There are plenty of women on here who are definitely not technical and who get by just fine. Perhaps the robust moderation and blocking tools appeal to women who’ve gotten tired of an endless supply of dick pics and misogyny on other platforms, something that the techbro sausage fest that is electronic journalism can’t wrap their heads around.

paisley_peinforte,

@yassie_j You might say they're verging on having one of the stupidest takes of 2023.

paisley_peinforte, to random

It really feels like I'll need to set up a personal instance if all this "pact" nonsense goes through. The idea of pre-emptively being prevented from talking to people I might be interested in just because they're on a corporate instance is anathema to me. I suppose that's the beauty of the Fediverse though, I can just go it alone.

On the controversy.

When I joined the fediverse I was told that its decentralised nature made it impossible for a big corporation to take it over. Then why are people so afraid of Meta?

I didn't come here to be isolated from the outside world. I just don't want to be controlled by one single corporate entity.

But some activists seem to think we should build a different kind of wall and be hostile to anything "commercial".

I'm not up for that.

paisley_peinforte,

@aristeon89 @anubis2814 God the purity test nonsense infuriates me. Baby goes out with the bathwater every time.

The state of the world where absolute Nazis are the "hope" to deal with Fascist Putin.

Because should they manage to pull it off, then they will need to be reckoned with.

The best scenario is they take each other out.

Billionaires pissing money recklessly doing things 99.99999% of the population will never do. Throwing money on selfish experiences rather than helping others and our planet. They signed a waiver in case things went wrong. Yes, it’s sad, but why is the world going full on Thunderbirds for a handful of rich men when thousands of migrants drown crossing the sea seeking a better life? What about the five hundred migrants who recently drowned crossing off Greece?

paisley_peinforte,

@Emmacox "why is the world going full on Thunderbirds for a handful of rich men" is the most elegant way I've heard this described. I was struggling to articulate the sensation.

I don't wan tto bang on about this but every time I see that giant military aeroplane (the C17) flying towards the Submarine search area, I get increasingly angry at the fact that THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD is moving for these 5 people and these 5 people only.

I'm not saying this shouldn't be happening-- it should! Life is precious. But this should be the level of effort EVERYONE gets, not just well-connected billionaires.

You know why #Bluesky is going to take off once it opens up more capacity? Because you can actually find stuff when using the search. I like Mastodon, but some of the choices made here are like trying to grow a platform with one hand tied behind your back

A search for “submarine” on Bluesky, yielding many results

paisley_peinforte,

@LilahTovMoon @FeralRobots @jbwharris From what I've heard it's more an unwillingness for certain features to be considered for implementation. (Look how long it's taking to get Quote posts going, for instance)

paisley_peinforte,

@LilahTovMoon @jbwharris @FeralRobots It is a cultural issue, yeah. It does cause friction because newer users want it and older ones don't - whereas other projects like Calckey are relatively unburdened by the argument and simply press on with development. Those seeking more feature parity with other platforms right away thus choose non-mastodon options. (This is all anecdata, mind)
