oh boy, here come the tankies

Will A.I. Become the New McKinsey? (www.newyorker.com)

We should all strive to be Luddites, because we should all be more concerned with economic justice than with increasing the private accumulation of capital. We need to be able to criticize harmful uses of technology—and those include uses that benefit shareholders over workers—without being described as opponents of...

they have a comparison of fedi social media software on the main page. according to that table, Calckey has all the features of Foundkey plus migration, enhanced search and thread handling, and partial Masto API compatibility

it's usable as a PWA (i hear it's pretty snappy), and they're working on their own mobile app

looking at Reddit, HN, Lemmy, and lotide, it seems like there's a definite link aggregatorness that these sites/networks share that other sites/networks don't have. each post is structured in the same way: title, link (to an external website, to an uploaded piece of media, to itself), optional text. the feed is a simple list of posts, with no content displayed besides the title, poster, community it was posted to, and maybe a small preview. people can influence the order in which these posts appear through up and down votes. each community is semi-independently run and focused on a specific topic. comments are invariably displayed as a tree, and are subject to the same vote system as the posts

the content doesn't necessarily have to be links to external sites, but the interface is optimized for those and uploaded media and plain text posts are treated the same as external links

now compare this to Calckey, Akkoma, Mastodon et al. the interface is built around text posts, displaying them in their entirety. even if the post is only a link, or has media attached, it is treated the same as a text post ux-wise. no structure is imposed on the posts, so people can just submit them into the aether, rather than picking a community to post to first. posts are displayed in reverse chronological order, and there is no mechanism to influence what order the posts appear to others

I really like lemmy and it’s link aggregatorness but Calckey’s lack of a character limit makes it a viable alternative.

you can have both :P

every community on Lemmy is followable on other fediverse platforms. this one is @fediverse, and you can follow it and receive new posts to here just like any other account you follow! you won't be able to up/downvote, but you can post here by mentioning @fediverse in your post. the first line of your post will be the title, and everything after that will be the body

the central thesis is that the free software movement was colonized. in order for the free software movement to win, they had to compromise their values and become corporate-friendly. the Free Software Foundation itself faded into irrelevance and obscurity because of their ideological purity
