But how does blockchain, as a technology, help with that? The Fediverse already has a mechanism for distributing content across multiple instances.

The big difference is that the Fediverse, like Reddit and Digg before it, are not communication platforms between individual that know each other IRL.. They are content sharing and discussion platforms. The content that mainstream Meta or Twitter users are interested in and generating is largely not what I am interested in, so how is it a bad thing if most of them disappear from my platform?

Plenty of us have already gone through the most painful part of the transition and are now focused on building something new. If we can do that once, we can do it again, but it'll be even easier to divorce from Meta if I don't care about what I'm "losing" in the split.

This might all be true, but personally I don't care about Twitter or any alternative version of "microblogging". That's not the kind of content or engagement that I am looking for.

If Mastodon and other instances like it throughout the Fediverse are taking the majority of Meta's attention, even better. Let them be the army at the Black Gate distracting the Eye from two little hobbits approaching Mt Doom. Totally fine with me!

It's not even that, just change your perspective so whatever Meta is doing or not doing is irrelevant. They can't "win" if we are on a different field playing the same sport with different players and our own equipment. Even if they have better equipment and 40,000 fans to our 1,500 that doesn't mean our thing isn't happening and meeting our needs.

The first step to fixing a problem is identifying it. If we know the threat is coming, all we need to do is not do that thing.

The only hopeful improvement is that his reign would be more unstable and maybe the oligarchs don't support him. Like always, that means that innocent Russian civilians will take the brunt of the actual consequences.

The only app that I've seen so far that claims it will (eventually) support Kbin is Artemis, which is not released at all yet.

Spez has directly praised Musk's moves at Twitter and cited them as inspiration.

Just curious, is there actually a rule that was violated or is that just a convenient excuse?

Seems really weird to give mods the power to make a sub private or marked as NSFW and then complain when said mods use those features.

It doesn't require users to enforce. Individual instances should probably start having caps and close signups/invites occasionally.

I think it's more that Amazon hasn't done anything to improve it since purchasing Goodreads years ago. Some minor design changes, but the algorithm for recommendations is arguably worse and there have not been any significant features added.

They are trying to find a new distributor for the second season, presumably the first would be packaged with that deal.
