Comment on No dedicated community/magazine for Fediverse memes?
JupiterRowland@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoHere’s some stuff that I’d meme about:
- Mastodon users thinking the Fediverse is only Mastodon
- Lemmy users thinking the Threadiverse is only Lemmy
- Mastodon users thinking the Fediverse started with Mastodon
- Mastodon being ridiculously underpowered in comparison to just about everything else, particularly Hubzilla and (streams)
- Mastodon users wishing Mastodon (or, better yet, “the Fediverse”) had certain features which are readily available just about everywhere outside of Mastodon
- Mobile apps built against only Mastodon
- Fediverse tools built against only Mastodon
- Pleroma being lightweight
- Mastodon’s culture which Mastodon users are trying to force upon the rest of the Fediverse
- Forkey antics such as "Speak as cat"
- Forkeys in general
- Forkeys inspired by Blåhaj vs Mastodon’s mastodon plushie
- Mastodon users still uploading videos to YouTube and not to PeerTube
- Hubzilla’s UI
- Sharkey’s infamously bad Mastodon API implementation
- Friendica federating with everything, especially juxtaposed with some Mastodon users not wanting to federate with anything that isn’t vanilla Mastodon
- Hubzilla’s ability to host Web pages
- Nomadic identity
- Bluesky’s AT protocol seeming like a cheap knock-off of the Zot and Nomad protocols in parts
- Self-proclaimed Fediverse experts who actually barely know anything about Mastodon and don’t know anything about the rest of the Fediverse
- Character limits
- Threads perhaps wanting to EEE the Fediverse vs Mastodon actively trying to EEE the Fediverse right now
- Mastodon’s poster-side content warnings set in stone in what they want to be the Fediverse culture vs Friendica’s, Hubzilla’s, (streams)’ and Forte’s automated, reader-side content warnings which have been around for longer
- Generally, the Fediverse being older than Mastodon
- Lemmy only barely federating with everything else
- /kbin essentially being dead
- Permissions on Hubzilla and (streams)
- “Conversations” on Mastodon vs conversations on Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams)
- Certain points in the Fediverse history
Granted, I guess almost all of this will fly even over most c/Fediverse users’ heads due to how detached Lemmy is from the rest of the Fediverse. But I don’t really expect that many more Mastodon users to understand it, and those who do may be offended. Oh well.
