Catbusif you're wondering why the sudden influx of users,
naturepoker@ancient_catbus ohh let me guess. They're doing llm based moderation
@naturepoker
yes they rely on "the algorithm" with like four actual human moderators lol

The Flight Attendant@ancient_catbus i wish Erin biba would come to mastodon! I miss her from Twitter
@CosmicTraveler the way this is going she just might

Neil E. Hodges@ancient_catbus Reminds me of all the times Twitter's pulled shit like this. :/
LukefromDC@ancient_catbus One of the nice things about Mastodon: you can find an instance that agrees with your politics.
Fire flows@LukefromDC @ancient_catbus You can in BlueSky too...there just aren't many yet.
I've been telling everyone to migrate to BlackSky or NorthSky all week.
@LukefromDC the problem with that is they regularly collapse and vanish, or irritate the Star Chamber and get defederated
I'm on my 4th instance and if jorts ever goes away, that's it
Ludwig Vielfrass@ancient_catbus Quelle surprise.
very normal person@ancient_catbus turns out the platform created by right wing tech bros was not a good alternative to twitter, who knew

kwayk42@ancient_catbus it's almost like a centralized group of individuals are motivated by being in the 'good graces' of some for profit?
Who would've thought 🤷♂️

Being a PBC carried so much potential that all just went to waste.
Standardizing social media with a focus on social justice, on a larger mass-media scale, would've been serious praxis.

@jonny @ewjoachim there is still a lot to be desired here but the promise *is* starting to manifest at the edges, and it's nice to see there's a practical deployment of this now. (Sort of. My understanding is that while this gets you off of *a lot* of bluesky infrastructure, your feet are still pretty well nailed to the floor by the ultimate did:plc: resolution service)
Irenes (many)@glyph @jonny @ewjoachim sigh don't get us started on did:plc. it was the thing we flagged in our write-up like four years ago and... sigh
@glyph @jonny @ewjoachim no, and as of 2025 there's been really rapid development such that we think it would no longer be a good idea to publish it, it's finally outdated.... except in that respect
the esoteric programmer@ireneista @glyph @jonny @ewjoachim not only the did:plc stuff, although that's obviously an issue. It's not quite decentralised yet, dk if it'll be even as decentralised as mastodon, although technically it could be more judging by their content hash and signature based protocol. Anyway, here are afew links about this stuff. First, a quite recent fedi thread:
https://mastodon.social/@mcc/115204933163360398
Then, stuff like this:
https://www.mediaactivist.com/bluesky-vision/
There could be good things coming out of this, but I wouldn't really hold my breath. Tbh, I wish the fedi would become better, both from a software and social point of view, aka the racism problems and much more, so we wouldn't have to keep hopping from incompatible protocol to crypto or billionaire owned incompatible protocol forever, thinking that for sure, it'll be better this time round.
@esoteric_programmer @glyph @jonny @ewjoachim yes, mcc's investigations in particular have been quite useful to us
Rob Ricci@ancient_catbus I think people underestimate the value of being in a relatively small community where you can be pretty sure the people who have veto control over your speech share your values
sparrows (doll arc) :flaglesbian::neoamazonia::vriskasip:
Alan Langford 🇨🇦🧤🧊摏@ancient_catbus Are they allowed to say "fuck this I'm moving to the fedi?"
I mean I've got an account there so I can follow (checks) 19 people who aren't here, and so I can push out promotion when the time comes, but my profile says "Conversations on Mastodon."
I just fail to see how rational people can't see that any corporate platform is prone to enshittification, almost by definition.
Stanley Jaxen@ancient_catbus theyre another parler
Worik@ancient_catbus Examples? Is that possible?
