Seems insanely #expensive to run a #mastodon #server , being about $2000 per month for 34k users: https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/ma.. More needs to be done to make #social #media weigh less in internet traffic.
#jwz reports that everytime they #post on #mastodon they #ddos themselves. This will only get worse if the #service gets even more #popular https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/11/mastodo..
More of the #farleft #leftwing move from #twitter to #mastodon #instances https://xeiaso.net/blog/rip-twitter #elonmusk has been in charge for just a week or so, and already they are abandoning ship. These people are not #loyal to anyone, or anything, but themselves. Enjoy your #disconnected #fediverse .
Pretty funny how the #leftwing think they can #migrate to #mastodon and get other people like #politicians to do the same: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/11/better-.. Yeah, the #rightwing tried this when you kicked them out. Look how you #attacked #gab and #parler . I'm sure they will return the #favour to your #decentralised #network .
If ever you want #confirmation that the #internet #archive has a #leftwing #bias , they recently moved to #mastodon after #twitter was taken over #elonmusk https://mastodon.archive.org/about/more Why is this important? He who #controls #history , #controls the #narrative .
#jeffkauffman raises a great point about about a massive #problem with #mastodon being #spam https://www.jefftk.com/p/thinking-about-.. It's a good #decentralized #system , but not a perfect one. The #analogy is pretty good with it being like an #email #system , where each #server is an #email #provider . You still end up getting #vendor #lockin though, like you do with #email . We need to keep looking towards better #decentralization methods.
#trump 's new #socialmedia #platform appears to be based on #mastodon - and #leftwing #software people are already #upset and #threatening #legal action: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/oct/.. Bare in mind, the new #website went live *accidentally* - it was only supposed to be #available to a #handful of #internal #users - not to the entire #web ! These people are mad, this is why I don't run their crap. I should at some point add a #permissive #license to #deadsocial ...
Not confirmed, but it looks like #facebook might be #censoring people who #post #mastodon #links https://changelog.complete.org/archives/..
