Maybe these people need to feel the cycle first hand a few more times and that’s okay. ActivityPub will be even stronger when it comes around again.

At least maybe some more regular people will learn about decentralization (and alternative ways there) from this mass adoption?

is also decentralized and is federated, meaning it is moving toward a future where users “own” their audiences and can port them elsewhere (you can, and many do, argue about the details here, and about the differences between ActivityPub, which Mastodon uses, and the AT Protocol, which Bluesky uses).

Best coverage yet for that alone

I mostly scroll through the feed and chime into topics where I feel I can contribute to.

That’s good too but maybe consider lowering your bar on what it takes to “contribute”.

Michael Geist, Canada research chair in Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, said in a blog post that “banning the company rather than the app may actually make matters worse since the risks associated with the app will remain but the ability to hold the company accountable will be weakened.”

I had the same thought.

Curious, did you get a long from my mention or did I format it wrong?

I’m wondering too. /u/technomad@slrpnk.net was it the woodworking one?

At least in the Lemmy side of things. Federation isn’t automatic.

Is that not expected behaviour?

Didn’t know “girl math”? I didn’t either but I don’t think that’s the question.

Sure, but what about security? Not that I haven’t had to use outdated phones before.

Surely the former.
