I think your confusing me with somebody who cares what your view of your actions is, or what your expectations on the internet is.

All you’ve done is complain about me posting my opinion. Not the actual opinion. But that I just posted it.

If you don’t agree with me, that’s cool. But try to use a few more brain cells to make it a constructive argument that we can discuss rather than the childish bullshit you’ve posted so far.

And?

You didn’t have to reply to my comment.

The solution to this is to create a new index (sorry web page). Job done.

Groups who abuse their position should be ignored. Without traffic their influence disappears.

Can we stop all this philosophising and just get on with enjoying it for what it is? Please?

I’m really tired of hearing everybody’s thoughts on Meta and Threads. And souls. And money. And the future. There are too many captains of the ship who want their 15 minutes of steering time. Opinions ate like assholes, everybody has one.

If you want Meta and Threads in your life, then join it or an instance that is going to federate with it. If you don’t, move to an instance that won’t. Same applies for any community that your part of. Or start your own. That’s the beauty of this.

Can we please let it rest?

That being said, comparing it to mastodon in terms of size at the moment doesn’t make sense.

I wasn’t doing that. I was really talking about where the Twitter exodus went. I’ve said before, my opinion is that those that have left Twitter are gone and those that want to stay are not going anywhere. From what I’ve seen of Bluesky is that much of that exodus hasn’t gone there, or have stayed if they did. Bluesky feels very empty.

So what I was really saying is that they haven’t capitalised on that exodus and I think they are too slow and too late to be able to do that now.

Big question is how viable a small user base is for their company behind it and whether the structure of their system is something a community organisation could keep afloat.

I think they is a really good question. And it’s something that confuses me (but I don’t know much about their financial situation). They are moving slow which isn’t ‘normal’ for a company. We’re used to them moving quickly, gaining market share and a user base and monetising it. So, assuming they are not going this out of the goodness of their hearts, what’s the end game?

It has some nice ideas, particularly for moderation. I like that they’re thinking hard about these things.

I think its moving too slowly and it’s lack of momentum at the time of the Twitter exodus was lost. Its too late for it to become an alternative to the likes of Twitter, Mastodon etc. and I think it will die.

I hope that once it’s gone it will leave a legacy of those good ideas I mentioned above which other platforms will take learnings from.

All my opinion.

You can’t trust any of the ‘mega-corp’ so these donations will have handcuffs.

One thing not said explicitly is that the Fediverse needs a funding model and I believe it will die without one.

I know people are down voting this because of what you suggested. But I don’t think we should be afraid of taking about money and funding it. The Fediverse is not free to run, or develop, so without money coming in, it’s going to die. We shouldn’t he afraid to talk about any options of funding. Even a conversation like this, where a lot of people are against it, can lead to other ideas that are more palpable.
