Will people come?

[–] blazarious@mylem.me 7 points 1 year ago

yeah, that's kind of an issue. Many communities exist more than once on multiple instances. Then again, this can also be a benefit. Maybe one of them isn't to your liking -> choose another one. Or one of them goes down -> there's a backup.

I mean, are companies really paying attention to user needs? Lol

Look, the user needs to see stuff that keeps them engaged. That keeps them coming back for more. Algos are designed to achieve exactly that. Your self chosen bubble of followings and interests may not be optimized for engagement and addiction.

No, the companies don't pay attention to user needs, they pay attention to the bottom line.

sometimes I miss giving awards like on Reddit...

well, that's going to change as soon as Threads will be available for federation. Then you can use Mastodon and be in direct contact with all the folks from the Meta-verse.

How is this legally binding? I still remember when people posted similar stuff all over Facebook. It means nothing.

[–] blazarious@mylem.me 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, those are good points!

How do you feel about people joking about and using 404 far off from HTTP?

Also: yay, AMAs have finally arrived. Who’s gonna verify your identity, though?

Yeah, it not being saturated yet kind of invites more active participation IMO.

To piggyback on that Linux analogy: if ActivityPub becomes as essential of a backbone to the internet as we know it as Linux servers are then the transformation has happened IMO.

 

Because I just realized the app I’m using doesn’t let me set the language.
