TechloreThe fediverse is how the internet should be. Decentralized, billionaire-free, and puts users in control. Don't take it for granted.
A.B.@techlore The Internet was just that way, before 1995.
Mastodon MigrationExactly! Fight for your freedom.
Torsten Torsten@techlore The fediverse is how it all should be =)
Emme Ci 🍉@techlore and yet, I am afraid that if the fediverse became big enough the billionaires would found a way to enshittify it. Or at the very least, they would try their hardest.
Véro (she|her)
Slimfat Jan@techlore And quite boring.
rani@techlore i feel like we also should not just make a social media that's not owned by billionaires but also one that promotes meaningful connection, human interaction, real life interaction, and minimizes addiction.
even if we have our own thing we kinda still copy the addictive design too and its not as revolutionary as it could be.

Expert Plus 🍀🔱@techlore Not sure if I agree. Oh wait a sec, I might agree actually.

jm2c@techlore cat's out of the bag. Everything techwise on fedi is open source. Anyone can insantiate a server. They cannot stop fedi anymore, just like nobody can stop torrents
hikewithrichard@techlore I'd even go on to say that this is how it was before MySpace, Twitter, Facebook & Co, In the 90s, and first half of the zeros (2000s) the web was decentralised. The biggest focal point might have been search engines like Yahoo, Altavista and Google.
Quinn Norton@techlore not the Ruby on Rails part though
Life.is.beautiful@techlore crazy how many interactions you can get on the fediverse even tough way less people use it compared to the big social media platforms
InspireExpireQp @techlore it is also how the world should be
Riven Skye 😶🌫️@techlore I would say to be more specific "wealth hoading, unmoral, and unethical billionaires". Not all billionaires are bad. For example, the Costco ceo intentionally tries to keep their food court food cheap. And in recent instances tried to resist the DEI removal which I find very reassuring. Although it may be a public image thing for them I think that this is still a net postive as a whole. The ceo of gas companies can go shove it where it don't shine thou.
Itchy Bithcy Spider@rivenskye @techlore All billionaires. A benevolent king can still decide to change their mind.
