It is the implementation of #centralized over top greedSploitation #AI that is the #climate problem. The #decentralized #desktop solution I will deliver for nothing costs pennies in electric bill. No climate impact. Your computer has always been on anyway. Booyah! It's here. Needs to be done right.

Alright, it's official, I'm moving over to Mastodon for the most part. Bluesky is only gonna get worse until it becomes the demon it was supposed to slay. I don't loath it for any specific reason, but it's ignorant to think any centralized platform safe from enshittification. I'll continue to like some stuff there and maybe comment on posts, but I won't repost anything to my timeline. I want to de-emphasize Bluesky in my life as much as possible because, excluding Newgrounds, it is the only centralized, closed source social media I still rely on. At least Newgrounds seems to be run competently and has anti-AI policies, as it should, considering it's status as a site for independent artists (*cough cough* DEVIANTART).

@LukefromDC @samvarma

#bluesky feels very #cryptocurrency

which makes sense since it's run by #crypto bros and funded by #cryptobros

the way they work is they make exciting starry eyed promises

people buy into the promises

and forget the reality

this is by design:

a true believer is immune to reality

the reality is, it's #centralized shit endlessly promising what #mastodon already offers

#decentralization is always just around the corner, just you wait!

and wait, and wait, and wait...

@erikcats

#bluesky apparently *can* be #decentralized

someday

always someday, never today

miss me with that cult noise of endless hype promise and "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" reality

bluesky is #centralized #corporate bullshit

and someday the #cryptoBros who run it and the #crypto bros who fund it will turn it into another #twitter

in fact, it might be happening right now

fuck bluesky

@tshirtman @mloxton @tarheel @inthehands

agreed. in this regard, #socialMedia can be a force multiplier for good as well as what it is now: a force multiplier for #bigotry and #plutocracy

but that makes our communities a target

so we need something like #mastodon where we can squash the #trolls without the "fReEzEpEaCh!" #bigoted morons and #centralized #corporate social media indifference or tacit support for #ignorance and #hate

we need the #fediverse to grow

Here is my #HotTake on this issue. I have noticed that #SocialNetworks offering #decentralization such as #blueSky through #ATProto and #NOSTR as well as #X #Twitter #Threads and #TruthSocial face greater shifts in #geopolitical #change now more so than ever before. Especially as #AgeVerification and #censorship #PayWalls goes live. Which threatens #centralized #ContentPlatforms through #identity and #coding exploits. Making #ActivityPub essential for modern #communication in #2026 effectively.

Wow, that's a powerful graphic illustrating the need we have for refining localities for more #production & #resource #independence.

#Isolationism is not the answer either. It's about finding #sustainable #balance.

It shows the limits of #centralized #planning of "Federated Sprawl" & what we can learn and gain from a move back to #CityState organization.

It's the same #philosophy of #sovereign servers in this #fediverse.

@SearingTruth @hamishb @JapanProf

i disagree

if something is #decentralized it can't be taken over by #venturecapital

that's a huge difference in my view

you're worried about the dominant human sentiment

positive aspects of human sentiment can become dominant again in a system where #ignorance and #indecency is warded against, rather than amplified on purpose by #plutocrat agendas like on #centralized #socialmedia

a system like the #fediverse #mastodon *has* to grow

to save us

Recently, I had to signin to #facebook to gettimely updates from my local #government and #newsmedia. What a #dumpsterfire. Do they not realize that some #information must remain in #chronological order.

It's high time that governments and news outlets stop relying on #centralized #socialmedia owned by #techbros to dissiminate info to the people. There is no reason why #public organizations cannot stand up their own #fediverse instances.

TikTok getting MAGA spawns new social media services.

UpScrolled is apparently built from scratch as a centralized platform, not based on ActivityPub or ATProto. They explicitly state that current decentralized protocols don't deliver what they need for a video-forward app, whatever that means. It's run by Palestinian-Australian developer Issam Hijazi with support from the Tech for Palestine incubator, launched in June 2025. Positioned as an Instagram and TikTok alternative without shadowbanning, with chronological feeds.

UpScrolled saw a massive surge after TikTok's US ownership restructure in January 2026, when Oracle and other US investors took controlling stake while ByteDance retained only 19.9%. Some users accused TikTok of censoring posts critical of ICE under the new ownership, which drove people to alternatives.

Monnett is also built from scratch, centralized, with no federation. Run by Monnet Social SA based in Luxembourg, founded in 2024 by a team of European technologists and activists. It's their answer to surveillance capitalism, GDPR-compliant, hosted in Germany, with user-controlled algorithm sliders and no psychological profiling. Basically the European sovereignty play.

W is the newest one, announced at Davos just days ago. Another centralized platform built from scratch, run by Anna Zeiter, former eBay chief privacy officer. It's legally a subsidiary of We Don't Have Time, a Swedish climate activist organization backed by IKEA, Volvo, Unilever, WWF, and Salesforce. The advisory board includes former German Vice Chancellor Philipp Rösler and Club of Rome chair Sandrine Dixson-Declève. Requires identity verification with photo and ID to combat bots. European-hosted data only.

The name of W supposedly stands for "We" with two hidden V's for "Values" and "Verified" - and they cheerfully admit that W coming before X in the alphabet is "a welcome coincidence". Beta in February, public launch late 2026. Zeiter said the platform would already count as a success if "political Brussels" posts on W instead of X.

So all three are new walled gardens with different policies and ownership, but none contribute to the Fediverse, ActivityPub or ATProto.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Makes me want to shout, "Hey, look here, we're here!". But nobody listens.

This #internet2025 of "big web" become too fragile to be usable.
This may push more people to avoid such big-tech & look for #SmallWeb #SmallTech for own websites.

@cmthiede @dianea

it's why we're both on #mastodon

we need to make of the #fediverse something that challenges #corporate #centralized #socialMedia in terms of influence and size

i'm not saying that's easy

i'm not pretending i know how

all i know is it is needed

otherwise, we're dealing with billions of people manipulated and signing on to #bigotry and #ignorance to serve the agendas of #plutocracy

and for those of you saying "i like the fediverse small and fringe"

i don't

A #blocklist is not going to be polite

It's a blocklist after all

So much for "#composableModeration" on #centralized #Bluesky

#moderation #AI

We talk a lot about the #centralized vs #decentralized dichotomy, but what's much more consequential is local vs #cloud computing.

It's #Nvidia (and #Amazon, #Meta, #Microsoft, #Google ) vs #Apple.

Not saying Tim Cook is the good guy, but if we never got Apple custom silicon, we'd all be on thin clients that couldn't compute a meal tip without the cloud.

@irelephant

great!

i love how you repeat the cultish devotion to promise over reality

truly wonderful

#bluesky is #centralized. not technologically, but in implementation

and yet it is your feverish irrational devotion to "maybe someday!" over the simple reality that true #decentralization is already here, for years, on #mastodon/ #fediverse

"but i got it working!"

yes, and i implemented #reddit's code and i'm running a clone of reddit so reddit is not centralized! gotcha!

🤦
