...crazy.
No platform can be considered a useful and valid source of info if data about power structures is rendered unavailable as a routine matter.
The entire value prop of the internet as a human endeavor is in the "inter" part - connecting networks without regard to orthodox boundaries or power structures. An internet that yields to legacy state censorship is just a net.
I really need to take some time get into mastadon or lens or bluesky or whatever.
- Pxtl 1y agoBluesky is very easy to get into, although it's basically just "Twitter without as many Nazis" right now - its federation capabilities are barely used. Its starter-packs and algorithmic feeds are very good at quickly onboarding you. Mastodon/Fediverse, on the other hand, is truly grassroots and federated instead of being a VC-funded cathedral, but it's just not nearly as successful and the usability barriers are higher.
- fullshark 1y agoI thought the value prop was that I could make a shitload of money off it?
