- Comment on Is there any truth to this? 1 day ago:
Every social media is collective of thousands of social bubbles.
While I advocating for federated SNS, I personally rarely encounter any toxicity on internet except when I interact with westerner (especially Americans). I carefully choose who I follow and interact, and the algorithm are trained with my interaction to put content that not toxic and relevant to me.
On fediverse alone, I have multiple account that delivers entirely different social experience. My English mastodon.social account that just slightly touch Western politics are thousands times toxic. Even my personal regional political discourse feed on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook are not as toxic as Western politics on fediverse.

TIL there’s Malaysian Lemmy instance called “monyet” nice name
- Comment on Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime. 3 weeks ago:
Another reminder that we need to keep Crunchyroll from operating in SEA market.
We enjoy our anime being available on several platform at the same time. Whether it was on Netflix, Bilibili, Muse YouTube, or regional smaller platform.
- Comment on Climate scientists flee Twitter as hostility surges 2 months ago:
It’s still usable if you’re not on English side of Twitter.
For example, recent Indonesian political movement relied on Twitter for discussion and updates. Mastodon or any fediverse is simply too niche and most people don’t have money to fund local general instance. There were several local fedi instance (Mastodon and Lemmy), but all of them quickly dead for low donation.
Japanese-side is still alive (in positive manner) but people are making backup account on Bluesky and Japanese Misskey instances.
- Comment on No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke. 2 months ago:
Except that’s not what happens.
Just take a look at Facebook. Tons of AI generated slop with tens or even hundred thousands likes and people actually believing them. I live in Indonesia, and people often shares fake things just for monetisation engagement and ordinary people have no skill no discern them.
You and I, or even every person here are belong to the rare people that actually able to discern information properly. Most people are just doom scrolling the internet and believing random things that appears to be realistic. Especially for people where tech eduation and literation are not widespread.

Bad example. There are plenty of non-profit FOSS services that do well and serve the community.

- Comment on Lemmy interoperability with other Fediverse projects 3 months ago:
One common problem for fediverse is that most of them are Western-oriented, hard to find people with similar interest and common topics.
Lemmy so far is replicating Reddit, which is tend to one-size-fit-all community. Gaming community? c/gaming is de-facto. Linux community? c/Linux is de-facto. And so on. Sure there are other server, but the one with most active community wins.
I usually use Facebook Groups with hundreds of thousands of people. It’s nice to see groups of really small niche, like “local fried chicken seller,” “temple research South East Asia,” or “Singapore-only comic collector”, etc.
There are plenty groups with similar topic, but entirely different culture. For example general gaming group:
- Gaming group which predominantly SEA people where mobile gaming is common.
- Gaming group with mainly Western people where mobile gaming is considered lesser form of gaming.
- Gaming group with audience where anime-manga-tokusatsu and other Japanese pop culture are mainstream. (Taiwanese, Indonesian, Korean, etc)
Another example, healthy food groups.
- Healthy food groups with people from area where vegan food is common without labeling (e.g. India, Indonesia, Myanmar, East Timor).
- Healhy food groups with predominantly Westerner that try to replace all food to vegan food.
- Healhy food groups that revolves around local food, which its recipe are only suitable for certain region.
All these communities might be same, but the entire vibe are different. One might more welcoming, other are full or rough jokes, some are okay with multilanguge post (not English only community).
Unless fediverse is able to replicate this, I don’t think it will reach full mainstream, especailly for people in Africa, Middle East, or Asia.

The reality is GaaS is exteremely hard to success. Every one success GaaS, there are probably 20 or 50 failed one that we even never heard.
- Comment on Why haven't we figured out monetisation for peertube? 4 months ago:
Misskey, which is Japanese-made ActivityPub-enabled social media software, has option to enable ads natively for instance admin.
In most cases, the ads are just non-tracking community ads, like promoting YouTube channel, indie animation, pop-up cafe event, or server hosting service. Usually the ads are matched to instance theme.
People realize that running instances needs money and letting the instance admin to make living from it is acceptable. Having monthly patron oftentimes not enough.
This is different case and country. There are plenty of dead fedi instance from Southeast Asia because the donation itself is not enough as the culture of donation is not the same as Western countries. Most people will just simply use free social media and thinking ads are good tradeoff.
- Comment on Why haven't we figured out monetisation for peertube? 4 months ago:
That’s Western fediverse.
Fediverse instance in Asia often run ads or other kind of monetisation. Like the second biggest instance.

- Comment on One thing I hope to see in the Fediverse is people engaging with old content 10 months ago:
Depends on the content and context. Some older post, even years old, might totally okay for discussion. Just like those traditional forums with years of ongoing threads.
