@jotaluis Hay que decir tambien que mastodon arranco bien por #GNUsocial de donde pillo monton de usuarios.

Ahh, lo he recuperado desde las #ediciones.
ya, los TL van a cambiar, veremos los toots citados de los otros y igual no queremos ver toots citados, nu se, no me gusta personalmente, en los comienzos de mstodon se consulto abiertamente con los usuarios que estabamos y por gran mayoria se dijo NO, en fin. Corria el año 2016 y aquí eramos 4 gatos. Por decir algo.

@pluralistic /46

but the fact that #Bluesky isn't free enough is no reason to turn our back on it.

Of course it is.
It's a rotten seed from the beginning and those who planted it and went for it have that rotten mindset in their stem cells, in their brain stem . The locked in effect always is there, and the VC effect, not really dismantled in this thread, can't be fixed. To begin with, VC makes it's money by the value increase of the stocks as early investors in the first place, not the real earnings of the company later on.

The coding community got locked into github and is now simply f***.
Of course the community is working on the decentralized alternatives already, yet every, literally every single click on a keyboard or mouse on their platforms furthers their advantage and increases their advantage, obligating us to create another work around and to wait until the latest locked in effect has vanished, has worn out.

And btw, talking the whole time about mastodon without realizing and mentioning that this is about #activityPub is just creating the next single point of failure, the reign of mastodon itself. And not mentioning that mastodon is just one evolutionary step in the #fediVerse since #GNUsocial, #Diaspora, #friendica is showing of illiteracy in the field.

The biggest problem of diaspora was the size of the joindiaspora server, and the incapability of letting go, of stepping aside and starting to manage a coding community. The biggest problem of the fediVerse right now is the size of mastodon.social. Mastodon.social itself is rendering the idea of a decentralized social web meaningless in the first place. And every one signing onto mastodon.social is proving that he didn't get the point in the first place. Same as those who went for bluesky.

The interesting part, the fediVerse knows that #mastodon is just a stepping stone, a step on the stairs.
In part, locking in is brand identification, it's pure tribalism. Promoting mastodon instead of the fediVerse is promoting one of the basics of the lock in effect. The moment you start to talk about "Zuck" you have to talk about the fediVerse and activityPub, not mastodon. And of course once you start broadening the angle from twitter to the rest of the wallet gardens you have to talk about google/youtube, spotify, and that's again activityPub, #peertube or #castopod. So as actually even #GNUlinux is mentioned in this thread, it's time to mention #yunohost.
Anything else hurts the community, the project fediVerse as a whole.

The new enemy is bluesky, and locking in users there by doing if the already failed promise can be solved by throwing more money at it is being blind in the world of the visually impaired, aiding the enemy, the new one. The one that obviously emerged because the fediVerse existed already and has been identified by silicon valley as the real threat.
