an interesting observation in a post twitter reality is how services that are sprouting up to claim some of the refugees are setting themselves up as closed gardens. without the option to federate with other services. like spoutable, counter.social, post, clubhouse and such.

**Speaking of supervillains…

I was expecting the twitter game bots to stop updating after meeting the new policy threshold or something… I did not expect them to be banned.

Well, finally I have one less reason to peek on twitter so often.**

Trying to wrap my head around webfinger..

my first thoughts about it were that a subject of acct:me@sour.is would have a listing of rel’s for the different accounts that are related to me (ie. yarn, salty, twitter, mastodon, etc…)

but maybe my thinking is at the wrong level.. that each of those accounts would be on a subject level and the rels are describing different aspects of that account. so i would have salty:acct:xuu@sour.is, twitter:acct:xuu, mastodon:acct:xuu@chaos.social, yarn:acct:xuu@ev.sour.is and then i could have a main acct:me@sour.is that links them together as aliases.

I found okta will do something similar with its accounts to show as okta:acct:user@domain so maybe I am on to something?

It’s crazy to think how much bandwidth is being used by metadata tags. Every company wants to invent it’s own new system.

While I’m all for people moving away from platforms like Twitter and embracing more freedom- and privacy-centric systems such as Mastodon, I do worry that many of them might be doing it purely for ideological reasons and may have no interest in maintaining the respectful atmosphere Mastodon is well-known for.

PSA: DMs on social media sites are not truely PMs. This is why we have a separate tool for private messaging from yarn. Always remember, if you don’t own the infra (or the parts at the ends of e2e encryption) you don’t own the data. and the true owners can view it any way they want!

twitter not worth 44 billion

RT @joinmastodon@joinmastodon

Monetization usually means ads, changing the website to have people see more ads, invading people’s privacy to make sure they’ve seen ads… A single website also means one organization is in complete control. If they do what you don’t want them to do, you’re out of luck.

A single website has your data locked in, and if successful, has such strong network effects that it can get away with making the service so much worse without having to fear anyone leaving. And if it shuts down, it’s game over. Your posts and connections gone.

RT @joinmastodon@joinmastodon

Some people ask us why Mastodon isn’t a single website. A single website that can serve the whole world requires so much computing power, infrastructure, and engineering, that it is practically impossible to do without big capital and monetization.
