This got me surprised:
"Mobilizon is designed so that you can follow the news of a group, but not of an individual : it is impossible to follow a single profile. In Mobilizon, profiles have no « wall », « thread » or « story » : only groups can publish posts. The goal is to get rid of the self-promotional reflexes where we stage our lives to be the person at the center of our followers. With Mobilizon, it is not the ego but the collective that counts."""
I understand the motivation but it leaves me with the strange sensation of exchanging one kind of centralization with another. It doesn't click with me.

- GoblinSlayer 6y agoAs I understand, it's a forum. Some forums allow you to see posts made by certain user, just mobilizon doesn't. Like ycombinator is not your personal blog, but a group, to which you can contribute.
- malandrew 6y agoSeeing that a significant portion of activists are "activists" for purely reasons feeding their own ego and self worth, I see this as a net win for weeding such people out. That said, if this does catch on, you can probably expect such people to start signing their content even if the system specifically doesn't support it.
- rpgmaker 6y agoJust a matter of creating a person specific group, no?
