With Zuckerberg going full Musk last week, we can no longer let billionaires control our digital public square.
I think this is a good thing. However, as John Gruber put it:
And with a team of “technical advisors and custodians” that includes both the executive director and the president of the Mozilla Foundation, I suspect this initiative might prove as successful as Firefox.
But still, I hope the recent moves by Muskrat and Fuckster push more people to open-web platforms and help the Fediverse grow. It’s time these shitbags lose some control over what people consume.

“No longer”?
You just now realize this?
I been on the Fediverse around 2-3 years(closer to 3)
and, even still am trying out Fediverse platforms I hadn’t got into as much as others. Such as Pixelfed.
Why would we let another corporation take control? Recovers is where it’s at.

Why are they pushing for Bluesky and not ActivityPub services?
Bluesky follows a model they’re more familiar and therefore more comfortable with, even if its the same model that got them where they are in the first place. Bluesky’s federation protocol doesnt matter so much as the fact that Bluesky is a singular silo that all Bluesky users can see all content and other users in does. Bluesky self-hosted sites will be a ‘nice addition’ that most users won’t have to care or think about.
I love lemmy and fediverse stuff, but even I am stressed out at the idea of having to make sure I have some kind of replication across different instances, having to keep track of who federates (or doesn’t) with who, and always wondering if my home instance is “the right one.”
I have a strong dislike for Websites where the first thing I see is a big “Donate Now”-Button.
Ah yes, the unsuccessful web browser that took down IE monopoly all on its own.
Eeeehm… how about… and here me out… how about we let this cancer in decline die out instead of trying to revive it? Crazy right?
It used to be a convenient way to keep up with friends and share photos. It took a while to turn into a politics-filled hell-hole where making people argue in the comments got prioritized because any engagement is good engagement.
I don’t know if there’s a way around that, but I suspect there is. I wouldn’t mind someone trying.
You’re posting that proposal on social media. I think most social media is terrible as well. What if it wasn’t?
I know. I guess i rather meant the influencer/commercial/advertising/brainrot hellscape that are instagram, tiktok and the likes.
Lemmy feels -for now at least- at bit more…pure or innocent I guess?
