  • There’s 1️⃣ unique draw to the fediverse : depending on service , you can (view|interact with) all different kinds of posts without (necessarily) needing to create separate accounts for different services (experience will vary depending on what software your instance runs though) . Examples :

    • Can view (peertube|pixelfed|lemmy|.*) posts directly from your mastodon account
    • [km]bin are threadiverse softwares that also allow you to (view|post) the twitterlike style posts you see on (mastodon|(.*)(oma|key)|.*) instances and not just reddit style threadiverse posts

    … but that’s about where tangible benefits end IMO . Fediverse only better in (technical|data privacy|potentiality) sense , may be more resistant to enshittification (tangent : wish there was better word for this , “enshittification” sounds kinda stupid IMHO) but don’t believe it’s completely immune

    Also I’ve seen enough fedimeta to know “run by huge dickwads” not (exclusive to centralised services|isolated issue) . Every other big fediverse (instance|project) feels like it’s managed by temporarily embarrassed (Elon musk|matt mullenweg)s , so like , pick your poison !





















  • Lꝏk at how many news domains I filtered in my lemmy client app (isn’t even all of them , the form just stopped expanding past certain point)

    Sick ofv hearing about those two guys , don’t use social media to lꝏk at news links , the 1-2 news sites I actually do follow are basicly text-only with no images . But am not doing this out of politics avoidance , it’s for different reasons

    Particularly infuriating are this and memes (which I also don’t care about) seem to make up like 80% total threadiverse content . Peops wonder wy peops stay on reddit lol
