I've started thinking differently about the diaspora from Failbook and Twitter.

Sure, lots are fleeing to Bluesky, which at least for this very picosecond seems a better option.

But LOTS are also fleeing elsewhere, and lots more are simply turning off social media.

And this is, I think, all for the good.

Every tiny thread we can pry away from the Gordian knot that is profit and virality seeking algorithmic social media, the better off we'll be as a society.

The internet is only beautiful in the small. I think the Fediverse and its anti-virality by design is an excellent example of that.

@feoh I donno if the fedi is anti-viral unless you mean that in a non social media sense. my personal server has posts boosted quite often.

@JoYo It is my understanding that the design of Fedi and the ActivityPub protocol was meant to dampen virality.

I Am Not An Expert. 🤷
