@atomicpoet @stefan @fediversenews >Fediverse is a common name for social media sites that cooperate instead of competing.this may be more correct: sites that ban and block instead of competing

@atomicpoet @stefan @fediversenews Not a UX expert but that looks umm, insane to me.Every single service is a new and often weird word, so that’s not plain language. Example: People care about their Twitter network, which of the five weird names should they choose to replicate Twitter? There’s no indication. Not to mention none are all that similar to Twitter user base, which leads to disappointment.

@kynyc @stefan @fediversenews The only place that has a userbase similar to Twitter is Twitter.

@atomicpoet @stefan @fediversenews So why is there a statement like if you like Twitter try one of these 5 random services. Like I said it’s setting up a new user for an expectation that is almost 100% going to end in disappointment.

@kynyc @stefan @fediversenews They’re speaking in terms of function, not community.

@atomicpoet @stefan @fediversenews I don’t know if you’re arguing just to argue but I’m just at my patience limit.This newbie explainer is implying EVERYONE is reachable on the fediverse, that it’s universal like email.

@kynyc @stefan @fediversenews Well, yes, that’s true. The interfaces are different but they all talk to each other like email.

@atomicpoet @kynyc @stefan @fediversenews Comparing by function and comparing by community are both useful. Without explaining the distinction, the site as is may make more sense to a technical audience than a general audience.

@slowenough @kynyc @stefan @fediversenews It's impossible to say, "This is what this service's community is like" because the reality of federation is that each server hosts a different community.

@atomicpoet @stefan @fediversenews Thanks for the link to https://jointhefediverse.net. It is an amazingly attractive quick introduction to the Fediverse and it guides people to open Fediverse alternatives for the closed platforms that they are currently used to.

If Eugen wanted to make the Fediverse diversity its greatest strength he'd spend 5 seconds committing a change to insert a single letter into IDs to force everyone to implement the API as documented

@hj The prize is the Fediverse being as ubiquitous as email. The lowest common denominator for public social interaction. Never having to use some other service with people at the helm you can't trust the intentions of

@eris My wife now knows what Bluesky is because some progressive media folks she follows are going there instead of Mastodon as a Twitter alternative because "Mastodon is too complicated" or something.These people will bring millions of their followers with them. Some of them have more followers than everyone on Mastodon combined right now.Do not underestimate these network effects.

@feld fediverse is already about as ubiquitous as email tho. The only problem is that emails isn't what you described.

@m @mahaska @atomicpoet @paulschoe @stefan @fediversenews Out of curiosity, which do you think people would be more drawn to? I don't have a specific favorite, I'm just curious what people think most new users would pick if they had to pick on features alone. Like in my case, I like Mastodon, but I'm really open to trying anything at this point.

@Alexx9811 @m @mahaska @atomicpoet @stefan @fediversenews Unfortunately, I do not believe that people chose on features. People choose on 3 items:1) Hype2) Recommendations.3) Ease of signing upBased on hype, I expect that BlueSky will get the largest initial growth. That despite the fact that Jack Dorsey has even said that he likes to replace 'likes' by financial endorsements (mini payments), which he calls: real commitment. This clearly shows what a wolf in sheep's clothes BlueSky is.

This clearly shows what a wolf in sheep's clothes BlueSky is.Jack is pushing nostr to do this too by the way. I think this is a big mistake. What made FB and Twitter and Youtube cool once upon a time was that they didnt run on advertisements or charge anything. Once they started doing that, things went downhill. I feel like this is going to turn individuals into advertisers. Im trying to be very vocal about my opinion on this. But I dont want to come off as rude. So forgive anything that might sound harsh.

@eris @mahaska @Alexx9811 @atomicpoet @paulschoe @stefan @m There are lots of opinions about algorithms. I might be convinced to try something minimal and open source. Say to maybe weed out spam/bots. But buy-in-large I am going to stay away from anything that rewards users for engagement.I think that has proven to be unhealthy. IMO

@eris @mahaska @Alexx9811 @atomicpoet @paulschoe @stefan @m @fediversenews The twitter algorithm is not minimal. And it is not sustainable unless you have a team of people nurturing it. Even if it is Open source now. I personally will probably continue to not trust computers to tell me what I should focus on. I am willing to be persuaded differently but almost every algorithm Ive used has been one that I wished I didnt have to use.

Problem is you can't federate with Bluesky without risking legal complications
