We on the Fediverse have more in common with those on other decentralized social networks than the centralized ones.
I am talking at bluesky, nostr, farcaster, lens, and others.
I don't think we are enemies.
I think we are fellow-travelers.
We are all reacting to the same problems (with the Internet, the Web, and social-media) in a similar way — we are just choosing different technologies.
It feels like the long-tail is gone from Google Search.
"Gems" that I used to be able to discover from Google Search results, by looking at page after page after page of results — are gone (from the Google Search results)!
Including stuff I know used to be there — gone!

I even checked some "gems" that I discovered many, many years ago (from Google Search).
• what is an "akkomo"‽,
• where did the "akkoma" name come from‽,
• why is the tag-line for #Akkoma‽, “magically expressive social media”‽,
• what is the meaning behind the Akkoma logo‽,
… is this (in the attached image).
🙂
If that isn't enough of an explanation, keep on reading.
There are some Internet-memes based on Atsuko Kagari (a.k.a Akko) — i.e., the inspiration for the name, logo, and tag-line of the #Akkoma Fediverse software.
A least one server is trying to do 'nodeinfo' lookups on my (new) personal website.
I haven't implemented nodeinfo yet either.
(nodeinfo is one of the other protocols used on the Fediverse. Most people are aware of ActivityPub. But there is more than just ActivityPub.)
...
The nodeinfo lookup probably has nothing directly to do with what I described in this thread. But because someone put the Fediverse ID to my (new) personal website in a post.
