@boilingsteam I’ve been running my Pleroma/Akkoma for over 3 years, with just two old Intel cores and (until very recently) 2GB of RAM. People definitely need to give fedi alternatives to Mastodon a try.

@Polychrome @boilingsteam not even that, like, even if instances die, even big ones, the network remains, and people can migrate

@boilingsteamThe truth to me is that it's about costs and tradeoffs.The risks of, say, an instance shutting down are significant, but it's worth it to me for the freedom from the so-called "walled gardens", but I know I'm an outlier: I'm an autistic, ADHD person who was homeschooled... The things that appeal to me and work for me frequently are not mainstream things. You're right: Mastodon cannot replace Twitter because it is NOT actually what many Twitter users want or will use.

@hj @boilingsteam it sucks when that happens but in learned not to take fedi too seriously or treat it like a cultural archive. Posts here are meant to be eventually ephemeral and that's fine.

@boilingsteam "Mastodon doesn't match my specific criteria for success, therefore it is going to die".

@Polychrome @boilingsteam that's a good lesson, the thing is that "mastodon is doomed" is pretty much same as "twitter is doomed". Things are born and things die, so it's important to pass on the DNA. For us it's the ActivityPub (and OStatus). Twitter doesn't have exit strategy, no DNA to pass on, no legacy, just tiny fragments of it. Cathedrals crumble, but bazaars pop up and close, and are ever-shifting. Much like merchants on bazaars are driven by desire for profit, we on fediverse are driven by desire to shitpost.

@boilingsteam Yep, we need a good ActivityPub app written in #Rust, but not like lemmy.

@boilingsteam Well I guess I better chuck the Fediverse out the digital window. Started rolling my eyes when one of the negatives they discuss were responsibility. This is not a negative at all. It shows how decayed a society we live in where personal responsibility is considered a negative and to be avoided.

@boilingsteam Reminds me of Linux on the desktop. A failure for decades-- but I've only been using Linux for my desktop for decades.This'll be the same, possibly. People complaining about being pushed around vendors, but choosing to stay in jail even when the cell door is left wide open.

@Madagascar_Sky @boilingsteam For reference, the source of the joke is "Mastodon is Crumbling", a post made in 2019, widely circulated, also with many valid criticisms https://www.dailydot.com/debug/mastodon-fediverse-eugen-rochko/But it looks kind of like a joke with that title now. Has the last four years been a crumble?

@Madagascar_Sky @boilingsteam I don't think these kinds of posts are super helpful. I think a lot of the criticisms are valid and I *agree* with most of them but I hate the headline and I hate the framing.Regardless, the fediverse is bigger than mastodon so it's not really my area to comment on.I agree there are a lot of serious issues with the fediverse as rolled out, you'll find me all over the place saying so. I've even written a lot about how to do it. Even some demos, Golem was one. https://gitlab.com/spritely/golem/blob/master/README.orgMy current work is over at Spritely, so I mostly ignore posts like these, and especially when people send them to me. But "X is doomed/dead/crumbling/etc", it's really easy to make that kind of title, and it actually distracts from legitimate criticism that an article may contain imo. Makes me disinterested in it, at least.

@taylan @boilingsteam @Polychrome @hj Yeah, also is a nice way to explain why the monetisation framing isn't the relevant one.

@boilingsteam Eh. They said the exact same things six years ago and last year. They say the same things every time there's a jump in users.
