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 My problem with the Fediverse is that the people running "major" instances are mostly assholes.

@mos_8502 Why does that matter?

@dashie the admin of oldbytes.space is positively awesome and that's all I need to worry about as an end user :)

When you run your own instance you take on a whole new world of politics and potential worry. It's a tall order.
