– every fedi reply guy when someone notes that the protocol or the server software or the UI is confusing or missing something

Ask yourself why a community like Vue took an enormous effort to write Elk and later organizes a (hugely successful) eXodus to Bsky (within days)

(fedi reply guy: “i don't care, good riddance, sellouts, class traitors” etc)

fedi dude: “they will crawl back to fedi when bsky inevitably runs out of VC money”
No, they will once again organize to migrate to whatever service they find useful, where folks are not alienating and self-righteous
nb. I want safe, open, publicly-owned, community-operated, anti-fascist infrastructure that lasts for decades. The fediverse is the nearest we have, that's why I'm writing here. There are many promising efforts to make this place better. Not complaining about the lack of certain features compared to a site funded by *checks notes* crypto blood money. Complaining about the arrogance and self-righteousness of certain fedi folks.

This long thread on Mastodon and Bluesky is on fire. 🔥🔥🔥

Don't agree with everything there but there are many good observations and thoughts.

Yup, I’m calling it. bsky will prevail where Mastodon failed. The recent migration triggered the critical mass of Chaos Muppet Energy that Masto’s culture works so hard to extinguish Like a climactic moment in a Zelda game where the accumulation of artifacts and switches pulled channels mystical energy. I will see you over there!

It's true that in this crucial moment of opportunity, the fediverse failed to attract users (succeeded to repel users). So it might have reached it's peak. I'm confident that it will continue this way or another. And hopefully serve its current users better. Overall, fedi is self-contented and doesn't want to change and grow substantially, so all is right, or not? 🤷
@molily Fedi be like

@molily But TBF Fedi also isn't heavily financed and doesn't have a huge team behind it.

I find the critiques of current Fediverse culture and infrastructure valid, and I think all Fedi projects should in some ways try to learn from each other and change.

I just want to signal to the outside view that those learnings require a huge amount of people power and money.
