When it came time to reckon with social media’s failings, nobody ran to the “web3” platforms. Nobody asked “can I get paid per message”? Nobody asked about the blockchain. The community of people who’ve been quietly doing this work for years (decades!) ended up being the ones who welcomed everyone over, as always.

@anildash Honestly, that's about the most damning indictment of web3 that I could imagine. If it was everything that its proponents claimed, now would truly be its time to shine.

@anildash What I find especially encouraging is that you don't have to be suspicious of the motives of anyone promoting Mastodon (or the fediverse more generally), there isn't some scammy token to pump and dump. It's refreshing.

@anildash The docs from the Twitter/Musk lawsuit actually showed that was something Musk was thinking of -- but he wanted people to pay for blockchain tweets. Lol. He abandoned the idea. Web3 is a bit in crisis. Play to earn isn't working out that well -- was working on a white paper this week that touches on the collapse of play-to-earn. I also think it's a values issue. People don't want to invest in another corporate owned platform.

@anildash The other side of it is that blockchain-based social media is an absolute joke. Doesn't scale at all, monetization has never quite been figured out, and nobody wants to store all of their content in an immutable blockchain medium anyway.

@anildash They talked about “twitter being layer 0 of web3”, which is still so funny to me. Yeah, they cared so much about building decentralized networks

@ellenor @evelyn I mean, it's all good if you want to block me, and certainly I don't expect you to amplify or engage with anything I say. But, having been working on open systems for decades, this seems a bit like saying some email accounts shouldn't be used for work. I'm glad there are anticapitalist and human-centric parts of the fediverse, and I hope they thrive. But me personally? I've been here from the start, so I'm just observing what I see.

@anildash@mastodon.cloud @ellenor@bv.umbrellix.org I will probably block you I'm afraid, I block everyone with a large follower account or who is likely to accrue one, something I've only actually needed to do in the last few days, I've had too many experiences on twitter once upon a time when someone with some absurd number of followers would innocently repeat or quote a post, and then this would be the link in the chain for how I'd get some of the vilest harassment I've ever had in my life for several days straight. The variable visibility on twitter is like playing russian roulette with your mental health. some people here call me slurs or throw abuse, but it never snowballs like that, i would take that every single day over the eye of sauron noticing me on twitterYou have to understand that this is is a new threat on fediverse, too. celebrities of any sort were practically unheard of, and now the absurd following distribution you'd see on twitter is being replicated here in a matter of just a few days. You may be a decent enough person, i honestly don't know much about you, but understand that with enough of a following, you are a loaded gun pointed at every single person you come across, even with the best of intentions, and then, you're part of an influx which has turned our world upside down. this was my home, it has been for a while, i love its culture, and i don't know if I could even make you understand why i love it so much, because you will probably never experience it. you're in the wrong place for it in some ways, but in others i desperately worry that it's gone foreverthis is our eternal november

@martinweigert @PeterR @anildash what "whole thing"? Check and see if your local instance takes donations or sells merch or has a patreon

@lmorchard @PeterR @anildash That works at the current scale. But less likely at 50 million or 100 million users. If Mastodon ever should get there.

@martinweigert @PeterR @anildash The scaling model is to divide all those users up by local instances, and you help fund for those

@martinweigert @PeterR @anildash The idea is there isn't one big "Mastodon" - it's software used by many people to build a network between many people.Each node in the network is self-funded, in one way or another. Whether out of pocket from the sysop and/or contributions from the users.If the network of nodes reaches 100 million user scale, it'll be because this worked. Or it won't. It's not a VC-funded growth-at-all-cost company

@lmorchard> The idea is there isn't one big "Mastodon" - it's software used by many people to build a network It's not even the only piece of software used in the fediverse. There's a whole bunch of others, some of them micro-posting services like Mastodon (Pleroma, Misskey), others federating totally different kinds of social media over the same network*, photoblogging (PixelFed), videos (PeerTube), forums (Lemmy), and more.@martinweigert @PeterR @anildash

@strypey @lmorchard @martinweigert @PeterR @anildash I need to ask this now once, though it will make me look like a completely ignorant person - is diaspora part of the fediverse, technically, I mean? Can you link it so your post sent in diaspora reach the fediverse, and is it possible to read post from instances running mastadon in diaspora? I get the impression this is not possible, is that right?

@rcrGood question. Diaspora only federates over its own protocol. Mastodon only federates over the ActivityPub protocol. So we can't communicate directly with Diaspora users from Mastodon or vice-versa. But because there are fedi apps that speak both protocols (Friendica, Hubzilla, SocialHome), we do count Diaspora as part of the family. In a hermit uncle hiding in the woods eating squirrels kind of way ;)@lmorchard @martinweigert @PeterR @anildash

@strypey @lmorchard @martinweigert @PeterR @anildash Thanks for this clarification. So it seems to get diaspora linked to the fediverse, some effort is needed... I like your analogy!
