C++ Wage Slave<a href="https://beige.party/@TheBreadmonkey" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@TheBreadmonkey</a> My experience is similar to yours, but perhaps more mixed. I've persuaded maybe a dozen people to install <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Signal</a> and exactly three to run <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a>; I've managed to get one (1) person to stop using <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xitter</a>, and I've inoculated several against <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tesla</a>; but I haven't managed to prise a single person away from <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Facebook</a> or <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WhatsApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhatsApp</a>, and they think I'm awkward and eccentric for refusing to use <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Meta</a>'s offerings.

Wah+ :thonking:You know what I love about Mastodon? The userbase is genuinely so much more kind and respectful than <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xitter</a> or even <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bluesky</a>, for example. X was a cesspool of toxicity even before it was bought by Musk, but now it isn’t any better either. Bluesky is somewhat similar (since it’s getting a little mainstream nowadays), although not as bad. But Mastodon truly is the sanctuary I’ve been looking for. I hope this never changes.The future really is federated. ❤️🐘

william.maggosJust got an email from <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#apple</a> about podcasts with links to their <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xitter</a>, <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/TikTok" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TikTok</a> and <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#facebook</a> accounts. Seems so weak.Why don't these other big tech players try to take down their competitors by promoting <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a>? It would cost them nothing. Run a server etc. Promote it in their other products. Fund development just a little. They don't need to win, just weaken the other guys.I was told this is how capitalism works :P

william.maggosI was told to be happy that <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bluesky</a> now exists cause it would provide a realistic option to get people off <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xitter</a> (and I agree we need to kill that propaganda machine).But I'm a fan of the smart and honest dissidents and they are definitely not welcomed on bluesky. AFAICT bluesky is now reliant on early users who only want to hear from people who agree with themselves. And apparently are allowed to bother those who don't till they leave.I guess we needed their bad example to get better.

william.maggosYes don't use <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xitter</a>. It's a biased platform intended to manipulate. Mostly thanks to the algos but also cause they don't police abuse that tends to silence views Elon doesn't like. But on <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bluesky</a>, we're seeing abuse in the other direction.Yes social media actually breaks info bubbles, but only if it's designed that way. Old Twitter vs the closed community focus of group apps or family and friends on FB.These are different things <a href="https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/mmasnick.bsky.social" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@mmasnick.bsky.social</a>.<a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2025/06/20/community-and-choice-are-not-bubbles/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.techdirt.com/2025/06/20/community-and-choice-are-not-bubbles/</a>

william.maggosIf <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xitter</a> didn't have an algo or trending etc, you'd only see posts from the people you follow. would it be that bad?Yes, they'd still have lots of rightwing assholes bothering people till that's all that was there.Ok, so add lots of mods to stop anybody from bothering others. Are we good?No, they could still control access so that it was mostly just journalists and conservatives, influencing the public conversation rightward.So take away that power via decentralization...<a href="https://liberal.city/tags/SocialWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialWeb</a>

AnneTheWriter<a href="https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@mastodonmigration</a> Important facts to remember:* During the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/2024Election" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#2024Election</a> , <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BlueSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlueSky</a> went viral on <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xitter</a> , which pulled a lot of liberals there. Unlike the times when <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> trended for migration, <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Elon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Elon</a> never tried to silence those tweets.* <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BlueSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlueSky</a> has no ads, but tracks user data even more than <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Meta</a> or <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xitter</a>, and uses a manipulative algorithm. Why pay so much money to do all of that data manipulation, if you don't use it for your own profit?<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/JayGraber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JayGraber</a> is one of the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BigData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigData</a> billionaires who manipulated the last election--by dividing the left, and suppressing the vote. So many on there were made to believe they could "protest" for <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> by withholding their vote-- just as so many on the DIVIDED left refused to vote for <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Hillary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hillary</a> in 2016.You can expect they will manipulate the next ones, subtly but effectively, by dividing the left in 2026 & 2028. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DontTrustBlueSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DontTrustBlueSky</a><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MarkZuckerberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MarkZuckerberg</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Meta</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Facebook</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/JeffBezos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JeffBezos</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Amazon</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SundarPuchai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SundarPuchai</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElonMusk</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/VoterSuppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VoterSuppression</a>

william.maggos<a href="https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/sweetbee.vip" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@sweetbee.vip</a> people merge two different functions. the global town square (social media) with community groups etc (social networking). AT and AP enable the latter also, but the former is a natural monopoly. one "space" will win. journalism demands it. if we don't want it to be <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xitter</a>, we have to do it better.let everybody coexist by minimizing the amount we're forced to see stuff we don't want to. no algos, don't tolerate harassment in any direction.

william.maggosYou can't ask journalists to leave <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xitter</a> and then tell them there's nowhere else that everyone is welcome. The bad place has cultural influence way beyond its size because all of media is there. That mixed conversation leads to the most interesting work. Elon added the dark algos that make people think all of LA is up in flames etc, but unless we offer a real alternative, they're staying. Without algos, vastly different views can coexist and not bother each other.<a href="https://www.thefarce.org/reporters-need-to-get-off-elons-twitter/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thefarce.org/reporters-need-to-get-off-elons-twitter/</a>

william.maggosimo the "public convo space" thing is basically a natural monopoly. I call that social media and not social networking, but anyway...<a href="https://liberal.city/tags/xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xitter</a> is still that place. it holds that kind of power. but bluesky came on the scene with VC momentum, approaching it like a sprint or wave. they'd either grow fast and win, or slow down and people would go back to X. people look at usage stats now and fear the latter is happening.<a href="https://liberal.city/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a> has always taken a marathon approach. slow and steady adoption.

readbeanicecreamInteresting post by destructured.net. I tend to agree with it as I tend to stay away from "influencers."
