You know elon will try no matter what.

I'm so glad people are calling Bluesky out for the trash service it is. I just mastodon outlasts this crap and we get more people on there than bluesky

Actually more like: "Here's an HD remaster of an old game that we ported previously but instead of giving you the same price as that lets just charge $60 instead."

Fans:

That's not hair... that's skin for his ~~disguise~~.

Lost chapter of chainsaw man.

What does the movie have anything to do with this?

They lived through normal times. So they're taking full advantage of that fact alone to dominate and destroy what's left for future generations.

hugs

most people follow advertisements right back into the clutches of corpo-controlled products.

The thing is I expect places like Lemmy and even Mastodon to eventually fall to this behavior. The reason I'm even viewing them as services that should be must for the common user is the mere ability to even move out without having to leave everything behind (if you catch what i'm saying) thats the real core difference and hope that I have. The problem is again like anlumo said, defederation is definitely going to be a major hurdle and one where major companies will especially take advantage of.

Defederation is honestly both toxic and history repeating itself i guess. There's reasons for it but it'll pass.

I wouldn't say its a return of traditional forums. Far from it really design wise. I think its more of a return to independence and decentralization. I think we're done with the whole "Web 2.0. Everything in one convenient place" and want to back to an era where things were much harder to find and communities were a lot more separated and dedicated to their own spaces. The fediverse isn't the end all be all and we're gonna suddenly go back to the 90s but to me, it's an honest step in the right direction that could really change the internet for the better.

There are the alternatives too!
