You: spends 1000 euros on an iPhoneAlso you: "Cool I can freely share files with people who are in near proximity to me using AirDrop just like Bluetooth, costs me nothing and it doesn't go over the internet.Apple: "that's not your phone and the new 'update' means you can't do that any more".FOSS advocates: I told you so.pinephone. librem 5. postmarketOS. linux.

Links to perfectly well run fedi instances are now being slandered by Twitter as being 'potentially harmful' etc.Instances include:https://hachyderm.io run by @novahttps://pixelfed.social run by @dansup https://social.linux.pizza run by @selea https://mastodon.social run by @Gargron They even went after George Takei: @georgetakei and @stux You can circumvent the #FreezePeach ban by emailing people directly sending them links to the instance of your choice.#fediverse #twitter

BREAKING NEWS: Gargron is no longer the most followed person on mastodon. This is great news (no offence to @Gargron ) as it signifies the network is growing to be more independent of its most famous developer.The new most followed person is @georgetakei Figures roughly 272k vs 270k#mastodon #fediverse

The notion of #Bluesky being promoted as a benevolent, open, decentralised standard for the social web never did add up:* it was funded by Twitter which stands to lose a 44Bn market share if an open, decentralised alternative thrives* it dilutes an already existing and thriving incumbent: the fediverse (which uses a different protocol: ActivityPub)* it was secretive about its project, the exact opposite of what an open standard requiresConclusion: Bluesky is probably a sabotage effort

Reminder that https://mastodon.art is probably the best mastodon instance.

What is interesting about lemmy is that you can start a thread on a different server. You can't follow people on lemmy, just communities. It seems that this model results in a network with topics are a central feature whereas on Mastodon the central feature is the individual account.I've always found the microverse(mastodon) to be a poor place for discussions; they tend to be way to disjointed, spread out.The character limit on posts on most Mastodon servers also results in people limiting..
