@ips @constantokra fair enough but doesn't come anywhere close to Matrix though. Matrix is meant for privacy while simplex is meant for privacy + anonymity.

If you're hearing a lot about the fediverse these days, you should know: Mastodon is not the whole fediverse and the fediverse is not simply a Twitter replacement. The fediverse is an entire ecosystem, built on something called ActivityPub. Learn more: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/leaving-twitters-walled-garden
Leaving Twitter's Walled Garden

This post is part of a series on Mastodon and the fediverse. We also have a post on privacy and security on Mastodon, why the fediverse will be great—if we don't screw it up, and how to make a Mastodon account. You can follow EFF on Mastodon here.A wave of people have announced that they're leaving...

I joined Mastodon because I felt Blue Bird site under the dictator was going to implode at the time. It’s imploding, and as of July 1, this site is the number 1 focus for my social going forward.

With that being said, I don’t want Mastodon to be filled with big tech nonsense. It’s killing the bird site as of today, and I don’t want the Fediverse to fall victim as well.

I'm so tired of these journalist hot takes about the Fediverse.

Elon Musk has declared war on journalists, banned them outright—including journalists from the Washington Post.

So what do these bottom feeders do?

Suck on the teat of Twitter all the more while bad-mouthing an actual solution that can save their dying industry.

Another stupid hot take about the Fediverse. This time courtesy of Megan McArdle from the Washington Post.

Apparently, Mastodon is doomed because it solves problems most users don't care about.

Just like Linux is a failure—because only hobbyists and IT professionals use it.

Except—unknown to Megan—Linux is a huge success which runs on everything (including your router).

Also Megan seems unaware that the *actual* problem with social media really is centralization.

Twitter might be replaced, but not by Mastodon or other imitators

Twitter's successor will probably be something not much like Twitter at all.

Finally a starry night here on Waiheke. I took a few photographs, using a Pixel 6 and a tissue box as a makeshift tripod.
