  Very clear and bice video!

  With that said, I was a bit disappointed when I joined the Fediverse about the interaction between social medias. I usually used reddit and very little twitter and I was excited when I saw the Fediverse and that you could even follow from other Social media but from lemmy you cannot follow people from mastodon and from mastodon you can technically follow communities but you see all replies and the feed becomes overwhelming while in Lemmy I choose if I open the comment section for a specific entry.

  So I ended up with the same number of accou ts on the fediverse than in centralized platforms which is fine but I think Fediverse sells this too much. For me decentralization is a good enough point to stay.

  And about the AI thingy and the feeds, I think we are just seeing the early Fediverse same as early internet but I’m sure in the future we will have apps that create a feed for you if you want to so to me that’s something that se also shouldn’t sell as a positive OR negative. I think this is something that will simply change as the Fediverse grows.

  But this is not a criticism of the video! Just my personal thoughts :)

  Honestly it’s a hard topic and I keep changing my mind on it. But currently this is my view:

  If you point everyone to one place decentralization loses the meaning. I think people need to learn what decentralization is. It’s an important issue to be honest and people have to be on board knowing what they are doing. It will be hard for sure but otherwise if a new centralized competitor comes into town, why wouldn’t they switch if they don’t care?

  At the moment twitter is the most affected social media but people has to understand that this isn’t just about twitter or reddit or whatever but about our rights to choose and decide where we want our data and who handles that. If people don’t know the system they won’t be aware of the issues.

  With the Fediverse I’ve seen a lot of people worried about privacy and so on because they have to choose and suddenly they think about all the consequences. That’s a good think that hopefully will make them think twice about joining the next çnew centralized system.

  A language is not a topic that’s why it makes sense and rules on servers that are on your language (and probably your own country) probably will have rules more aligned with your vision too. It makes sense on a moderation point of view.

  A server that is about technology or art, doesn’t say anything about how they might allow their users to behave. I just think it’s misleading and the focus of a server shouldn’t be about things you like but the way you like to be treated and how they manage your data which is at the end what they handle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s a bad idea to have each server have one topic which I know is often how Fediverse is sold but I think it’s not good.

  I don’t know you but I have more than one interest and I don’t want a server to be about one interest and that’s it. I want the server to be fair and have rules about discrimination and so on. I can choose the topics I want to follow thanks to federation that’s the whole point, the server should focus on the moderation side.

  I remember in reddit following nextduckinglevel to simply be a bit more up to date with people commenting on this types of things and after that I started to enjoy less reddit, this type of communities make reddit similar to other social media liked Instagram and I don’t enjoy seeing extreme things all the time or people just trying to get the attention. I stop following the community after a while and the experience got better for me.

  I don’t see much different between reddit and lemmy besides lemmy being in the fediverse thus it’s a plus on my book. But you decide what communities you follow, if you are not enjoying it stop following what makes you not enjoy the platform, this is not tiktok where they put videos on you face, you choose what type of content you want to see and follow things you want to follow not things you should follow.

  Why people say seperate instances amplify echo chambers? I can follow any community I want, it might be true that similar people go to similar instances but then you can see the others without noticing what instance they belong. In lemmy you follow communities and not people so I feel this happens even less since everyone comments on any community.

  And as a site note I think the internet showed that putting everyone in once place is not always healthy for everyone.

  The internet should respect different cultures and not try to homogenize everything.
