@kumicota@p It's very popular in the Mastodon™ crowd. I don't know who in their right mind would give admin access to a third party just to automatically manage a blocklist. Who knows what else they query with those permissions. Just the fact that you need to provide that access to even see the full blocklist shows that they don't care about transparency.
@icedquinn@PurpCat@p@romin Expecting EU to be innovative and creative with their authoritarian excuses is too much to ask. Give it a few years and 1984 will be banned again, because it will read like reality.
@HatkeshiatorTND@p Do you realize that's exactly what they want you to do, so they can then show statistics about how racist people opposing their moderation centralization are? By doing that you are giving them more ammunition.
@p@icedquinn@PurpCat@romin The EU sponsored W social media is built on ATProto. It's possible to make it sort of decentralized, but the architecture is done in a way that makes it very hard and expensive. Also btw blocking bsky's content labeler basically disables moderation for you and earns you a quick account ban.
On a completely different note, W requires you to prove your identity via their W ID or whatever app that is supposed to be 100% anonymous, to even make an account. It's glowing more than feds on Xitter and 4chan.
@newt In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter at all how either of those are ran. What matters is the content and Fedi is lacking in that regard in many ways. Creatives and artists are gone, shitposters are half gone. What we have though is people shitting on everyone's timelines with <insert dumb politics/AI discourse>, and GNU/Retards being retarded as they've always been.
The quality ratio has gone down on Fedi noticeably, while on Twatter it seemingly went up and that's what matters. pleroma-social-media-arguing.png
>the other is engagement. On twatter, it just sucks. If you are a small poster, most likely almost none of your posts will even reach your subscribers
That's it, you've just lost the game. Engagement metrics negatively impacted and destroyed the Internet in many ways. People now no longer write about their thoughts, hobbies, things they do and instead post about what they think their followers would want. In other words, the "everything for upcummies" economy. The only winning move is not to play this game. I have 450 followers and get maybe on average 2 favs and a reply unless I post some meme. So what.
>It's not that good for having any kind of discussions.
Yes, that is one of the few things Fediverse really excels in, actual interested discussions with people there to actually have a discussion. At least if you ignore Mastodon and their 🧵1/♾.
>adding to that, you can just run a bot that reposts your favourite twatter art accounts here and your experience is going to be miles better than following them directly on twatter.
@snacks They even wanted to broaden that to TC and ABS, but that didn't go through. Not being to disable TC would be especially annoying for people that sometimes drive in muddy/grassy roads.
