Comment on Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse
djdarren@piefed.social 1 week agoIMO it’s the exact opposite; we talk about this because we want the best protocol to win, this time, while knowing full well that usually it doesn’t.
Honestly, I couldn’t give a shit. Like I couldn’t give a shit about celebrities and journalists signing up to Mastodon.
The Fediverse with which I interact is vibrant, and full of (mostly) good people, all sharing knowledge, jokes, art, etc… I don’t personally care if Taylor Swift signs up, because the people who currently live on here largely play by the rules, and the vibe is good.
I don’t care if Bluesky’s protocol ends up ‘winning’, because it doesn’t affect Mastodon. Or Lemmy. Or Pixelfed. Or Peertube. Or whatever federated services anyone else uses.

this is how Fox News etal dominate though, so while I don’t use it, I do give a shit and always encourage others NOT to use it. I also castigate those who would pollute the fedi waters with that APIs etc allowing the shit to flow though.
