There’s a for profit corporation behind it and they have investors. They’ll find a way when they decide they need ROI and increase profits. They still haven’t even disclosed how they’ll monetize the platform afaik so they’re just living off of investor capital thus far. First step of enshittification is when they monetize the platform. How it works when federated depends on how it’s designed (I have no idea), but what happens to the network if Bluesky Social PBC goes under?

Bluesky lost? I’m all for corporate social media losing, but I think Bluesky has a bigger chance than Mastodon to become as big as Twitter at its peak, because of the money behind it. At least for the short/medium term. Long term, when Bluesky inevitably also falls due to enshittification or what not, Mastodon might win, unless it has splintered into a bunch of defederated clusters of drama at that point.

Personally I’ll never join another corporate social media platform ever again. But I’m in a miniscule minority.

I don’t think he would have gone there himself to arrest her. He’s more likely to send a window for her to be thrown out of. I mean fall out of, accidentally.

Very important. Keep it between 20-80 is a good idea. I differs between different battery chemistries though.

I don’t know. I used to pirate like crazy. It was ridiculously easy. I wouldn’t even know where to begin today when it’s more important to protect yourself than it was back then. As far as I know at least, due to new laws etc.

EEE?

Edit: When did people start referring to embrace, extend, extinguish as EEE? I’ve heard of the term plenty for the past ~24 years but never seen this acronym before? Ah well…

Very much this. Plus, how easy will instance admin Joe Schmoe fold under external pressure to give access to certain groups, government bodies etc? And how well have Joe Schmoe implemented good security practices on the server and related things? Etc.

Microblogging is pretty much just box into which you can shout whatever you want, and sometimes people interact with what you said.

Am I weird for thinking comparing Lemmy and Mastodon is odd? To me it’s almost like saying “I prefer apples over gravity” - they’re two completely different things in my opinion.

Who’s “we”?

Surely not as bad as asking a question in the form of a statement is it.

Giving social media platforms access to my contacts? Ew. Never. However for those that want it it might be a good idea, except what if I don’t want whoever has put me in their contacts to find me that way?

Lol that sounds so cute

Y’all have goo inside? Mine’s all crumbly and dry. 🤕

I’m not against algorithms by definition, but the problem is in order for us to trust it, the algorithm needs to be open source so that we know what it does, but then it lends itself to easy hijacking and manipulation.

To make it clearer we suggest a renaming of the crypto Web3 to Web3.0, and the decentralization version Web3.1.

No, wait, that’s too confusing, let’s make that Web3.0 gen 1 and Web3.0 gen 2, respectively.

Kind regards, the USB Implementers Forum.

Wait, what did you expect when you followed #retrogaming?

I love how people have different opinions and value different things. Personally I so far find Lemmy very very very much not as entertaining as Reddit. The lack of comments in particular makes it way less enjoyable imho. But hopefully it’ll grow.
