   If you have a #EyeEm account, please read this and delete your photos one by one, then your account by May 1st or your photos are going to be sold to AI models. https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/26/photo-sharing-community-eyeem-will-license-users-photos-to-train-ai-if-they-dont-delete-them/

   I didn't realize that they were bankrupt and then sold off. They used to be a nice alternative that crashed and burned. I went ahead and deleted my account today.

   I'm not sure the #fediverse is used to be scrutinized and commented on by the press, like the ongoing #Techcrunch coverage by @Sarahp and others, e.g. about the recent spam attack: https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/20/spam-attack-on-twitter-x-rival-mastodon-highlights-fediverse-vulnerabilities/

   I'm all in favor of the coverage, however, if for nothing else than having a mirror held up to us so we can see how we look like from the outside. And if it helps bring more capable people into the fediverse to help with these and other issues, it's all the better.

   A bit of a harsh article, but also decent from @Sarahp on the recent spam wave over on TechCrunch: https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/20/spam-attack-on-twitter-x-rival-mastodon-highlights-fediverse-vulnerabilities/

   I want to echo what Renaud says: “building federated software is hard”, but also remind and add emphasis that all this is only possible by people donating money to the projects to make them possible in the first place.

   I am glad #Bluesky is now open to the public, as people can decide between #ATProtocol & #ActivityPub.

   I am biased toward the #Fediverse overall, as it has been battle-tested across various platforms & servers.

   However, I do not see any issue with people checking out a rival decentralized platform, & both ultimately can learn from each other.

   @lonseidman @tchambers Thanks for sharing the @TechCrunch article!

   I like how @Mastodon is seriously considering the managed hosting business & eschewing ads. I hope platform creators like @pixelfed, #MissKey & #Pleroma would consider entering the managed hosting space as well in the future (as there is a need for this).
