Best case scenario here is that somehow #mastodon instances remain small, community based, serving to bring people together rather than keep them divided in fear, with just the right amount of cross over to stop filter bubbles. something that always would elude twitter.
Turning things upside down, it suddenly occurs to me that #fediverse could have the inverse effect of what is expected.
Twitter, as far as I can make out, generally goes like this:
Somebody who for whatever reason, makes something, builds something, or does some research, etc and makes a post of genuine interest about it, often linked to a blog or a publication.
several 100 or 1000 (maybe people, maybe bots) post one liner (often hateful, sometimes trying to be witty) noise on the thread.
How useful is the federated timeline on your instance?

You know the #fediverse isn’t just #Mastodon, right? :)
Do you live stream? Check out https://owncast.online
It’s a lightweight free and open live-steaming server. (We use it at Small Technology Foundation for our streams at https://owncast.small-web.org)
And you can follow people’s Owncast servers from the fediverse and get notified when they’re about to start streaming, etc. (e.g., hit the follow button on our stream and enter your Mastodon/fediverse account)

I've noticed a small wave of new people making their way to Mastodon from the birdsite.
Here is my brief Mastodon guide for social media worriers that may prove useful for making yourself more at home.

As someone in my discord server said - “the best way to make politicians anti-facial recognition might be to use it on them”.

The web is rotting out. I'm seeing more and more active organizations with broken content, bad links, and out of date websites. But don't worry, their facebook page is up to date!
We paved over the library of alexandria and put a walmart in its place.

@NGIZero “Open Source” for a surveillance capitalist like Google is one or several of four main things:
- The potential to use free labour
- The potential for positive public relations (which, when amplified, will hopefully get people thinking about them as a benevolent philosopher kings instead of the robber barons and people farmers that they are)
- The potential to influence the stack (with tools that function in line with their success criteria)
- The potential to find new talent

"Firefox won't work unless you enable...."
It has been a while since I have seen this (inaccurate) message for any app.
First time I've seen it for #Firefox and it happens as a result of opening a github link to unsub from a repo somebody subbed me to.
Does anybody know what is happening here?
