       @stux Obviously not, because nobody will ever say that poa.st played a role in the success of the Fediverse.They want to stay relevant for longer. They want to keep abusing people for longer.

       @tchambers It's an excellent post. I agree with everything you wrote. I'd like to pinpoint another issue – the Mastodon stack is difficult to maintain, so few developers are available, and it also isn't efficient, which means that instances that commit to open registrations actually face high bills.This is why we need to fund more alternatives to Mastodon. I'm not trying to say we should get rid of it, and it won't harm the fediverse if people run it, but we also need to fund e.g. Bonfire Networks (which are coded in Elixir) and GoToSocial (which is coded in Go).I'm sticking to my idea that Facebook is also attacking the moment Mastodon is having from tech and generalistic media outlets, and I also think that the timing wasn't innocuous, that we know since *1975* that capitalists and States are using sociology to exerce power on people, and I can pull a sociological reference that has been used for this timing. In other words, the same concept (biopower) can be associated to both brain stimulation reward and to what happened on the fediverse these last few days. It was a first strike. The goal was to increase the pressure on large instance admins to get them to resign, and it almost worked with dansup.What these criminals really need though is a transfer of resources from more legitimate organizations, and also maybe symbolic capital, e.g. to have public figures on their instance. That's what snake oil is – symbolic capital – and this is how long-running scams (or what I call “market abuse”) work. (I talk about it here, but it's written in French: https://océane.fr/la-maltraitance-numérique.)

       @gme Socialhome is coded in Python, Smithereen is Java, Pleroma isn't maintained AFAIK, Akkoma is basically Pleroma + a frontend developed by Alex Gleason, Misskey and Calckey are basically Twitter but more stable and with more features. I don't know in which language Hubzilla is coded but the last time I've checked its interface didn't feel modern, and GNU Social had a major UI overhaul, so I'm gonna check this. And then there's Friendica, which I know and I've been thinking about for a few months, but I didn't take the time to find an open instance. So far, only GNU Social and Friendica fit to these criteria, and then there's the fact that only Bonfire is modular.Honestly your message feels like mansplaining. You seem to have slapped a stereotypic reply on a common topic instead of having understood my points.

       @leo No. I can't grasp their entire knowledge base on ways to shape and predict human behavior, and you obviously can't either.
