Unpopular, there will be that "one" server, offering the same services twitter does, where everyone flocks to, breaking the concept of the federated servers, because the audience wants one public plaza.
- blowski 4y agoAre you telling me that's an unpopular opinion? If so, I'm downvoting because I always downvote people who "predict" the popularity of their comment.
- qikInNdOutReply 4y agoIts unpopular in the "going against the narrative of dezentralisation that spawned the platform" way, as its human nature to have social places to gossip like a village plaza, church or in this case, many servers. Likely outcome is thus, one official battlefield of opinion, and some smaller echo chamber servers depending on political leanings.
- blowski 4y agoI'm not interested in your assertion of the popularity of that opinion, though. If you have data to _show_ it's unpopular, that would be interesting. Otherwise, let your opinion stand by itself, allowing other people comment and vote on it.
- Karsteski 4y agoHonestly same, I do not understand why people start their comments like that... Just say what you have to say
- qikInNdOutReply 4y agoBecause it filters out a large part of the federation concept defending noise, if you state this. It prevents decentralization vs centralization discussions, which always results in developers missunderstanding "centralization of a social organism" like the state or society, as a externally forced upon evil instead of a choice by the majority. If that concept were really even contemplated, it would be discussed constructively, as in "how can we integrate moderation and distribution of costs and labour for a service provided by the public for the public".
- blowski 4y agoI want to understand what you wrote there, but I honestly have no idea what you mean. I can't even work out whether you're addressing the Mastodon issue, or trying to justify writing "unpopular".
- natch 4y agoYou literally started your comment with "honestly"… Just say what you have to say, indeed.
- s3000 4y agoIf Twitter had prepared an ActivityPub bridge and would activate it tomorrow, would Twitter remain the dominant player? Could they even expand their network to rival Youtube and Facebook?
