It’s funny how Americans technology oligarchs love propaganda copytext that includes terms like innovation, change and disruption, yet they are all vapid and lacking any imagination.

In a perfect world, all media organIationa would have their own instances (tied to their domains) for each network type (threadiverse, micro logging, video, short form video) and these instances would be used for both content distribution (official NYT mastadon feed) and for validation of journalists.
The non-profit foundations that manage these networks could provide managed services to raise more money for development (beyond donations).

It’s really too bad that Lemmy MAUs are once again on a decline curve. I was really hoping we would stabilize above 50K MAU.

They can indeed federate, but IMO it’s not useful beyond simple posts.
There is no way to “sync” the text heading/URL/thumbnail.
- Comment on The fediverse has a bullying problem 3 months ago:
and don’t get me started back in the days when every fandom had a dozen sites which all hated each other for vague and extremely personal reasons.
Oh man, this brings me.
Remember the time in the late 90s and early 2000s when even a niche topics had like 3-4 large community sites with active forums. More popular topics could easily have like 10-20 communities.
And there was a lot of drama both within and between communities.
It’s kind sad that we lost this, although lemmy is solid modern alternative, just needs much more users. Enough users for even niche topics to have multiple active communities with their spin/focus on a given topics.
On the plus side, I am glad I got to experience the early pre-corporate internet. It was good times.
- Comment on What are some examples of original fediverse software, not emulating existing platforms? 4 months ago:
Maybe mbin or piefed? They don’t exactly seem to have 1:1 copies among oligarch run services.

Crypto is all about shilling bags or criminal activity.

Don’t post or engage with ML. Problem solved.
That instance is infested with scumbag tankies who white wash genocide, oppose self-determination for independent countries and support imperialismn and authoritarianism.
