What? magic? that's a really weird way to refer to a website, are you a teenager in love? if twitter was ever cool it was maybe in 2012-2014 (during occupy wall street) but it certainly wasn't just musk who took down the site. Enjoy when Bluesky discovers he can make more money with polarization, the magic is over
This is really sad. A half-decent marketing campaign, a few press releases saying it's the new Twitter and people just sign up. There's Mastodon. We've been so close. It's sad
He's going to Threads??? They have finally launched the metaverse and no one has told me anything??? I don't see any other rational reason to do something like that.
I'm not going to discuss it with you, because I'm not a doctor nor is it the issue, but the health authorities (at least the European ones) do not agree with your statement.
Estoy de acuerdo pero para mi hace demasiado calor, yo soy del norte y me gusta el calor pero en este caso es excesivo.
Empiezo yo mismo. Creo que el lugar que mas me ha impresionado ha sido la mezquita de Córdova. Es impresionante tanto la parte de mezquita como la catedral esa que tiene incrustada en el medio y medio, precioso.
Personally I think that financing a platform like this with premium subscriptions is illusory. I could be wrong but what are they going to offer as a premium?
I think it may be interesting to note that Spotify is closing its first green year in its history this year, for reference.
Ok. You are in a situation of harassment and you believe that giving your data and delegating your security to a private company that responds to economic interests is a viable long-term solution.
There are things that one cannot argue against
I will count it as a victory when my government's communication channels with me are not private property. A government-owned Mastodon server for official accounts would be logical (the EU already has it even though it barely uses it)
Well, I am not a systems engineer to answer your question, in any case smaller Hitlers equals Hitlers with less power. Dividing power is not the definitive solution to authoritarianism, but it usually helps a lot, especially if the agents are also competitive. "If you are too Hitler, I'll go to this other server that is a little less so" is a valid incentive to avoid the Hitlerization of the admins.
I don't think I've ever used the name Hitler so much.
Ok, I haven't denied that, the tools are different (I don't even know Twitter's tools very well), I debate whether that is worth enough to accept that it is centralized. If over time they consider that something else is more profitable, they will change the moderation tools, have no doubt.
I've seen that kind of argument before and I understand it, but I can't agree. I think it's not the majority that makes the site bad, it's a ridiculously small minority, driven by the site's algorithm to be highly visible, that creates a vicious circle where more people become polarized (as a reaction but also to gain visibility and relevance).
A site like Bluesky, with its investors and shareholders, will sooner or later fall into the same thing, Mastodon could be the place to leave that tiny group of crazies in their own secluded space. It would be a gain for society but I think the window of opportunity is closing.
