- Comment on are people still all riled up about beehaw? 2 months ago:
You can see beehaw has a lot less activity now then it had last year.
Fediverse Observer and FediDB show a drop in active users, but the pattern of peak in July 2023 and then a slow regression isn’t unique to Beehaw, and is a pattern seen across the Threadiverse.
You left, but Beehaw being willing to give teeth to the concept of defederation is the reason I joined. I don’t think the decision hurt their user-count. It definitely helped distinguish their culture from the rest of the Fediverse.

Shock! A ‘green’ corporation thinks undermining labor is more important than the climate crisis.

It’s a good thing that birds aren’t real, and already have RemoteID built-in.

- Comment on The State of the Federation, with Mastodon's Eugen Rochko 4 months ago:
I’m really happy for Eugen’s success, and am grateful for his essential contribution to widespread adoption of the ActivityPub protocol, even though I don’t agree with him on a lot of things.
I think it was honest for him to acknowledge Google’s role in sidelining the XMPP protocol, and while I don’t want to quibble about the other mitigating factors, I do take issue with him comparing the trajectory of ActivityPub with SMTP with the visible adoption and mutually assured destruction of major corporations in maintaining email’s nominal interoperability.
If people haven’t read it yet, they should check out (already Fedi-famous for his article on Enshittification) Cory Doctorow’s article Dead Letters – about how it is impossible for even a well-known public figure with access to the best server infrastructure and technical know-how to run a small private email server in the age of Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft Outlook. There are several ways that federating with Meta can kill this movement, and ActivityPub becoming the new email is one of them.
Basically, if we allow Meta, BlueSky, and Twitter to federate, the very network effects Eugen is aware of make it more valuable for them to federate with each other than any smaller server. Predictably they will underfund moderation staff or their faulty algorithms automatically de-federate smaller servers due to spam. Small operators will have to work harder and harder until it is basically impossible for them to overcome the error or fix the problem and re-federate. Eventually small groups that aren’t directly sponsored by one of the giants will be weeded out, as their users migrate to more reliable services. Even if the disconnections and undelivered messages are not the fault of the sysops, they will be scapegoated, and eventually more and more will throw up their hands and leave the rigged game.
While having a protocol you championed become the defacto web standard may feel like a great accomplishment, the Fediverse will never be a “Social Web” until the tools we use to communicate are incapable of being taken from us by corporations. Eugen’s vision of a social media ecosystem where any small developer can write a platform and have access to the entire ActivityPub network is at odds with his enthusiasm for the emailification of ActivityPub.
There are social obstacles to building the “Social Web” and as good as the Activity Pub protocol is, the true technical solution is Solidarity.

- Comment on How long will my account here last? 6 months ago:
You were banned for violating rule 1 and rule 2, and the ban will expire in two days. You might have been banned on your world account, but there’s no record of it. In any case you are not banned on LW and may be able to log in now.
Rule 1: No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
Rule 2: Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
My guess is picking fights with authoritarian leftists and calling them “tankies” is what attracted the wrath of the mods.
Lemmy.ml mods tend towards the authoritarian left, and consider use of that slur bigotry. Unless you plan on changing your political orientation, you might be better off on a different Lemmy instance.
