KevinTConnorIf you’ve been blissfully off #birdsite and not walking between the worlds, you might not have noticed that #Elon is forcing people’s accounts to follow the twice-impeached, election-losing, bridge-n-tunnel, sedition it’s former President without permission or consent. If you are still using Twitter, and don’t want to be secretly forced to follow the former president, you might wanna check to make sure it hasn’t happened to you yet
Arvind NarayananThere's a claim going around that Mastodon is "centralizing around a few instances" because 1% of instances account for 84% of users. https://mathstodon.xyz/@manlius/109383027753990134
That's misleading. 1% of instances is ~360. That's a lot more than I expected! Impressively decentralized.
Measuring centralization as a % doesn't make sense. Hypothetically, if 100K new people each started their own instance, centralization as measured by this stat would greatly *increase*, even though that's not what actually happened.

Attached: 1 image Again, a quick and dirty analysis, but if I have no bugs then the 1% largest #Mastodon instances accounts for 84% of all users. The top 5% accounts for 97% of all users. We can say that the system is effectively centralizing around a few instances, and this might be a problem for the overall stability and sustainability. @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] #MastoStat #ComplexSystems
Jen SorensenThe devolution of Twitter into a cesspool of toxic garbage reminds me of this comic I drew a few years ago.

DigitsAnother #BandcampFriday recommendation! Dana Gavanski's new all-covers EP.
Unbelievably good tracklist: songs by Bowie (deep cut!), Tony Caro & John, the Kinks, and Roberto Cacciapaglia/Ann Steel. So cool to hear these very different, all timeless, tunes back to back.
Bouncing Ball, by Dana Gavanski

Eugen RochkoI don't think Mastodon or the fediverse has ever received this much attention before. It's a great opportunity for people to finally see that social media can be done differently, that it can be a protocol not under control of any single company.
