Weirdly, #Bluesky has greater engagement than the hollowed out husk of twitter.....even if feeling it is like feeling your way around your own house in the dark.

Over on Bluesky they are discussing about whether the network is doomed because the active user base is stagnating and/or even declining slightly. I would love to see the fediverse have exploding user stats the same as Bluesky users. Why no doom and gloom over here? It's because we don't have venture capitalists that will pull the plug on us if we don't hit the growth metrics. We never had the deep pockets but what we do have is hundreds or thousands of people throwing resources and money here and there to make this diverse network work. That builds in resilience that one funded by VC and chasing ad revenue will never have. #fediverse #Bluesky

It’s not about features. It’s about culture.

#ActivityPub comes out of the #openweb tradition.

#Bluesky comes out of a split lineage - #openweb roots, shaped by #dotcons incentives, with an #encryptionist upbringing.

"I have been telling people for some time now that the atmosphere functions as a subculture, and the conference made this visible in a way that no amount of online interaction could. Everyone knows everyone, and everyone knows that everyone knows everyone, and the social graph is dense and tangled and interconnected in the way you find in scenes, movements and artistic circles, not in industries"

[ Mongoloj ]

Bela vetero dum iu ajn semajnfino aŭ aliaj ripozaj aŭ sanktaj tagoj ĉiam alportos ekstran pezan trafikon, kiu lasas sian spuron tie, kie miloj elektis sekvi la samajn kurbojn.

Ne ideala, tamen akceptu ĉi tion kiel ĝi fakte estas, kaj brakumu la defion.

Kaj certe! Ne neniam eĉ malĉiam deklaru lastan kuron *ĵinkso*🍀

Devastation on the summit

The summit of Mount #Olsberg has already been ‘cleared up’ following #Hurricane #Kyrill (January 2007), but its effects are still visible.
In the centre of the picture, you can see the #summit #cross and the mountain hut, which were spared by the hurricane.
