@davidrevoy it's just kinda sad because they're being set on fire by a bored billionare :(
but at the same time it's great to see actual free and open platforms grow, most people who are joining right now have no idea how much freedom they gain, how much more privacy they have, the fact there's no ads without needing an adblocker because you're NOT the product but an actual customer, something that has become increasingly rare in today's megacorp capitalist world

@[email protected] @[email protected] My initial sketch had both of them, but I had a very tight time budget to paint this, so I simplified a bit the scene. Human characters are a loooot more work to paint 😅 I'll do my best on the next works.
This cartoon has prophetic characteristics:
The "left" / "liberal " users of #Twitter will fatten #Mastodon user numbers, whereas the the burning bird on the right might yet rise again like the #Phoenix out of the #Birdsite ashes as #Twitter2.0 (aka #Bluesky.)
Thus it is envisaged by #Elmo and his #PayPal, not-my-friend, @ Jack after #Twitter's final demise.
Purefied by fire, only right-wing users and easily gullible #ElmoFanboys will remain on #Bluesky.

That's more or less what the web used to be at the beginning of the 2000s when people would build their own websites, host forums and develop online communities.
I don't think I'll be exactly like that, but self hosted instances and communities are an interesting old twist on this current state of the web.

What capitalist corporations can do in a for-profit mode is hosting. AWS and Google have some of the best, efficient, and scalable hosting services out there... these companies do a good job at hosting.
Everything else needs to be user driven, derived, and designed. This is to say because we've seen what the companies who own social media platforms, driven by profit, have given us.

Take a look at their now mostly defunct Metaverse concept... who was asking for that? What real problem was it solving?
I bought a new mop, it's one of those spinny ones that wrings itself. Didn't need a new mop, but this one actually solved a problem. Where's that in Zuck's Metaverse? No where, because it wasn't meant to solve any problem, it was meant to be another commodity for consumers to buy. That's an incredibly unstable footing for the profitability of any product.
