      There are lots of reasons to want alternatives to social media mega-corps, and the people with those reasons have varied likes and hobbies.
      Even amongst the people who care about privacy, decentralization, etc, people still have varied interests. All you have to do is look at the popularity of Tiktok content about privacy, security, programming, etc.

      Dude is a basement dweller, and just assumed that was the norm for everyone who shared an interest with him.

      I have my own thoughts about hurdles that loops will face, but “fediverse is for snobs” isn’t it.

        Fair enough, but endless feeds and short form videos are also widely regarded as dangerous to mental wellbeing, so I agree with them on that point.

        But I’m not interested in getting people away from the adtech platforms, so also happy to see decentralised alternatives pop up.

        The great thing about decentralised social media is I’ll always have my anti dark pattern folks in one corner or other.

  hear me out. The toxicity of social mefia cones from algorithm and advertising. Lots of short videos by the community can be fun/interesting and not addictive/ brain rotting.

  endless feeds of short form video is the new asbestos

  that’s like saying Mastodon is bad because Twitter ruined society, I mean how often do you find yourself raging endlessly at Mastodon.

  I would love to have a chill way of scrolling these videos without having to live with one of the evils.

  That being said i am also sceprical if this is it, I mean why do they want my email?

  Yep. Agreed - except it is yet another avenue for monetization should it take hold. People keep acting like the fediverse is some kind of incorruptible platform.
