I do have to say ActivityPub social-media RSS, in concept, sounds like the right way to go when it comes to many of the social media ills and platform problems.

Like RSS itself though, there's not a clear way to bulk capture, monetize, and re-sell people's posts and social graphs so I fully expect it to not take off.

the history of new kinds of modern communications technologies has been almost entirely "fleeing from advertising." Fax, voice calls, email, usenet, everything is spoiled by ads and commerce because the government refuses to regulate it in any meaningful way.

mastodon seriously needs to not crop images to 16:9, this is killing me

it genuinely confuses me why this is even a thing. lets all switch to the social network which is designed to make it practically impossible, as far as 99% of the users go, to kick people like trump and alex jones off it. because the thing we used last might unban those people?

certainly hoping twitter dies, but this is the lolbertarian decentralized option where every individual is going to use technology to make informed choices to create a good social situation.

upsides of course that it'll never go anywhere anyway.

eh, defederation might as well be a ban as it impacts most users.

mastodon pros:
- your instance's admins can totally cut off fascist instances. you don't have to do anything.

mastodon cons:
- your instance's admins can totally cut off any random instance due to stupid meta fighting bullshit. thousands of your following and followed accounts might disappear, and you have no indication that this is happening unless your admins communicate it loudly and you're paying attention to the right stuff.

network effect equilibrium: 99% of users will be on instances peering with literally anything, making it entirely impossible to moderate in any way.

probably true in the long run.

at the moment, a number of mid-sized instances are defederating from the largest instances due to legit beef/utter nonsense/bad vibes.

i like mastodon, but it's in a weird place right now. def not a twitter replacement, but a ton of people have flooded into it.

Stuff like this is fantastic. I hope a ton of middle-tier dying social media sites integrate activitypub (not this one though. These forums are too dead and gay for that) because it would be the least lovely thing to happen to community on the internet in a long time.
