sure, but it's being loaded up with piles of users who were perfectly happy with corporate bullshit two weeks ago. you're not going to make cultural converts of them before some bright eyed product manager at google spots this opportunity.
in fact, you'll probably _never_ convert them. they'll probably convert the rest of the place. hence "eternal september".
- yoz-y 4y agoThe comparison is apt, but you can ignore the federated timeline if your instance is what you came for. From what I understand though, the on-instance caching could be problematic if there is a sudden massive increase in user numbers (and people from your instance start following them)
- simfree 4y agoInstance admins ultimately control whether registrations are open, and can disable accounts of those users that aren't participating in the instance in a healthy manner. Additionally, expecting Google to have the fortitude of the fediverse when it comes to social media is hilarious We're coming up on year 6 of the ActivityPub standard, and there are plenty of half decade long fediverse participants like myself. If this were Google I would have been through at least one if not two major platform changes (where you generally lose features & your social graph) or a platform shutdown by now.
