I share your hope. I'm just offering the caveat that it might not go as quickly and smoothly as you expect (unless I'm reading your comments wrong - do correct me!)

It's my perpetual gripe with many of those open tools that I love ideologically, but practically find lacking in some respects, typically UI/UX (including the pre-experience of the decision whether to use them). I don't have all the skills or knowledge to fix the issues that bother me, as it's often far eaiser to know what's wrong than how to fix it.

I understand and endorse the philosophy that it's unfair to demand things of volunteers already donating their time and skills to the public, but it creates some interdisciplinary problems. Even if capable UX designers were to tackle the issue and propose solutions or improvements, they might not all have the skills to actually implement them, so they'd have to rely on developers to indulge their requests.
And from my own experience, devs tend to prioritise function over form, because techy people are often adept enough at navigating less-polished interfaces. Creating a pretty frontend takes away time from creating stuff I'd find useful.

I don't know if there's an easy solution. The intersection between "People that can approach software from the perspective of a non-tech user", "People that are willing to approach techy Software" and "People that are tech-savy enough to be able to fix the usability issues" is probably very small.

...oder einfach einen anderen Geschmack? Ich mag bitter, vor allem wenn noch andere Noten mitschwingen.

Is nicht für alle, das seh ich ein, aber ich bin bspw. mit Wein* oder Sekt nie warm geworden; Wirkung hin oder her. Das alleine kanns also nicht sein. Da bevorzuge ich dann doch ein leckeres Bier.

Über Geschmäcker will ich hier gar nicht streiten. Gibt bestimmt Dinge, die dir schmecken, mir aber nicht. So sind Menschen eben unterschiedlich, was ich auch gut finde:

Dann bleibt mehr für mich :p

*Außer einem guten Honigwein. Gibt aber auch da welche die nur widerlich sind. Vielleicht müsste ich nur mehr Weine probieren um einen zu finden den ich mag?

It's so big that it can take a lot of bleeding before it dies. It doesn't help that there is no significant enough consensus yet on an alternative.

It seems like some people are flocking to bsky, probably because it has better visibility and seems more accessible than Mastodon ("What's an instance? How do I pick?"). Others are heading to Threads just because it's there already.

If enough people move to some other platform to generate a critical mass, they'll pull others too. Until then, inertia will keep X rolling a good while to come.

I prefer Mastodon to what is ultimately still a for-profit corporation ("public benefit" notwithstanding), but both are better than Twatter.

Ich iel: Gewalt sollte die letzte Lösungsmaßnahme sein, wenn alles andere versagt.

Ich in Zivilisations-Spielen: Mist, mit Gewalt komm ich nicht weiter. Dann muss ich es halt mit Diplomatie versuchen bis ich wieder genug Militär hab.

Echt so. Wogegen soll der läuternde Zorn der heiligen Kriegsmaschinen entfesselt werden? Wofür überhaupt eine Fabrik bauen, wenn sie nichtmal Feinde anzieht und damit Gelegenheiten für Verehrung des Geallesten* durch Zerstörung seiner Feinde? Nachher wird den Maschinengeistern langweilig...

*Laienversuch, Omnissiah irgendwie zu Verzangendeutschen - ggf gerne korrigieren

The value of distributed redundancy

Most furries are harmless. A few are creeps with no concept of boundaries. Some are particularly deluded Nazis. Like every group of some size, they have a certain percentage of scum. Depending on your standards, they might be weird, but I'll take harmless weirdness over harmful normalcy any day, let alone harmful weirdness.

I do think he is unique, but also the prime specimen to show that not everything unique is valuable.

Ich mag deinen Namen. Ich find den witzig. Dachte das könnte dich freuen.

Given the heavy use of subject-specific jargon, I'd guess as much. I wouldn't go to the length of looking up neuroscience terms just to roast neuroscientists, because that just seems like a poor happy chemical return on the mental energy investment, whatever the proper terms for that might be.

Now, if you'd ask me to build a data model to analyse my unhappiness for key influencers, we're in business.
