Twitter, Reddit and Discord are simultaneously going to shit - because enshittification is what happens when suddenly money isn’t free any more and borrowing carries an interest rate

The fediverse is not very well connected suburbs, good for what it is but doesn’t do the same job

bsky is gonna do its own fediverse (with beer and shitcoins) and it’s fun right now as a single instance with good users, but the staff are the sort of barely-crypto-reactionary free speech warriors who will never block the nazi instances

[youth pastor voice] you know, there’s someone else who talked about the tendency of the rate of profit to fall

EDIT: to clarify: Discord is ticking along for now, but they hired some ex-Facebook execs, employees are in revolt and the org is hollowing out. hence (a) bad decisions (b) glitching https://archive.is/fI3hq

    I have yet to join any matrix instances, but I’ve heard it’s a good replacement for discord. And discord already has a concept of manually hosted servers so I feel like it’s a smaller jump to full federation than some of the other services coming to fediverse
