    Bro, learn from these words.

    It’s really not that important. If you find a bug, check if the issue has already been reported. If it has, just give it a thumbs ups up to show that it’s important to you and wait.

    This isn’t some kind of service you have paid to use and “deserve to get quality for”. It’s an opensource project started by people in their own free time provided to you free of charge. If you want to be productive, help out by providing useful information to the developers (complaining isn’t useful information), or donate (remember donation is not a payment for services to be rendered) and hope it’ll give the developers the opportunity to spend more time on the project, maybe even pay to get others involved.


  • The strength of the fediverse is that there can be a right wing fediverse, a left wing fediverse, a centralist fediverse, yada yada yada. Entire networks of different, unconnected instances can exist. There will probably be instances in between that act as bridges or for gathering stats.

    It will be interesting to watch, but at least people will be able to join the instances with communities they like. The problem of course is that echo chambers are more likely to evolve, but it’s not like that isn’t the case right now.

    And once we get instance bridged with the dark web, it could allow content from countries like China, North Korea, Iran, and other places that don’t want information getting out.







  • Just let these instance owners do what they want ? 🤷 If they want to pre-emptively defederate, that’s fine, let them. There will be instances happy enough to federate with them. Once there’s trouble, they’ll probably defederate.

    The great thing about social media, is that you don’t have to reach everybody - you just need to reach your community. If your community isn’t on GAFAM then defederating won’t change the experience.
