By that logic, the Fediverse is already irrelevant, because it has fewer features and fewer users than major corporate social media platforms.

The Fediverse isn’t owned by a single entity, so it can’t be simply bought out.

Oh, believe me, I do listen, and I learn about things that I use on a regular basis. Based on my understanding of the ActivityPub protocol, I sincerely believe that concerns about Threads are exaggerated. It’s very cult-like, with talk of “pacts” and tendencies towards prophecy and a “purity” mentality.

So much fear mongering.

I don’t want my software pushing propaganda on me. Thanks but no thanks.

Ernest said he didn’t introduce bad code on purpose:

I assure you that I didn’t intentionally push incorrect code into the repository. These were my first lines of code in a really long time. I simply got involved in other things that I wanted to finish first, and I noticed the edge case in the meantime, but it wasn’t a priority.

@ernest @melroy
lol this whole conversation is a microcosm of the open source community. I agree with ernest that forks are great and would add that they show that the open source system is working as intended.

Kbin magazines can sort of aggregate content through tags.

@waterhouse I also would like this feature.

Hell yea

You’re absolutely right, and I think you’ve helped me figure out a bit more precisely what I’m looking for. Particularly this:

Distributed ownership of a wiki is definitely a good idea, but i don’t see the benefit of it being federated.

Decentralization is what I’m after, not necessarily federation.

I just figured since the Fediverse is so awesome for everything else, why not shoehorn a wiki into it? lol.

You’re absolutely right though, a pinned thread could accomplish a similar function as a Reddit wiki page.
