Imagine calling this cancel culture

Look, I am happy as long as there are enough people on lemmy and kbin to have a fun website here. I can go and visit reddit now and then to see what kind of stuff they’re upvoting, that’s not a problem. But I want the potentially better alternatives to grow.

wtf that’s fucked up

We’d probably be willing to view ads if the experience wasn’t literally jarring.

Not really I don’t want to view propaganda about how the new 6 wheels family killer wagon is still chill even if you’re going through the desert.

I just don’t like ads and unnecessary consumerism.

with 0 uber apps on my phone I will see exaclty 0 ads :)

They will try everything else before building wind and solar

That’s a good point, it’s not my genre I think.

For me personally it can. Not sure about everyone else.

Honestly I wonder what was appealing about pokemon games when I was a child. They have boring gameplay and every single game is the exact same.

lmao good

fuck twitter

Damn that’s so cool! Public posts are enough!

Expanded reach for users as posts are sent to all participants in subscribed relays

Is that true? Makes sense that if I subscribe it would also send, but for some reason I always thought it was just drawing in content.

I don’t think that this contradicts my statement.

Many people end up on tiny servers or spin up their own server and wonder why there is nothing or only a tiny amount of content in the federated timeline. If you already expected this, good.

It’s hard to be on a mastodon server alone, if you don’t have an established follower base. Keep interacting people and follow plenty, some will like you as well and follow back :)

Also, most fediverse software isn’t designed to be used by a single person. If you had a couple more users there then everything would be way more populated!

No, your not shouting into the void. It gets shown to your followers and to their servers (in the public timeline). If your toot is boosted it will show up on all the servers that it needs to to be shown to the people that follow the account that boosted your toot.

Mastodon basically works on a need to know basis. If I follow someone, my server will be sent all their toots, boosts etc.

This is because it’s impossible to have all activity on mastodon on a single server. Even the huge ones don’t get all toots!

My guess is that meta sees another one of their social media sites go down the drain and this time they want to try something to stop it.

I don’t see this as a good thing. I see it as a logical step after the success of the fediverse. But I am afraid of how it will develop, with more commercial participants in fedi.
