  3. My account has been suspended by #Twitter/#X – I guess Prince Musk can’t take the heat – Best to support some alternatives now rather than later:

    - #Bluesky – “Bluesky is a microblogging social media service”
    - #Diaspora – Independent #SocialNetwork - Minimize your dependency on #Facebook and #Instagram as well as #Twitter/X
    - #Ello – Also #AntiFacebook
    - #Letterboxd - Online social cataloging service for film – Based in #NewZealand – Maybe they should diversify into mainstream #SocialMedia

  4. Artist platform Ello tried to fund their social network for artists with VC money, even though their business model was not compatible with rapid growth and monetization.

  9. The Quiet Death of Ello’s Big Dreams | Waxy.org

    I remember Ello — it really needs to be spelled in Courier — quite intently; the schtick — “Facebook Killer” — was obviously going to doom it from the outset because any app which people describe primarily as being in opposition to something successful, is clearly going to have issues… but I didn’t know how deep the rot went.

    I’m amazed it lived so long.

  10. CW: Long thread/11

    Capitalism without constraint is #enshittification's handmaiden, and the latest victim is #Ello, the "indie" social media startup that literally promised - on the sacred honor of its founders - that it would never sell out its users. When Ello took VC and @waxy questioned how this could be squared with this promise, the founders mocked him and others for raising the question. Their response boiled down to "we are super-chill dudes and you can totally trust us."

    11/

  11. @Infostack @andybaio I feel like you completely missed my point.

    #Ello failed because the demand wasn't there. Ello made the same mistake #GooglePlus and #MeWe made. #Facebook users complain about Facebook, but don't join anti-Facebooks, because most of them don't hate Facebook as much as the people creating Facebook replacements do.

    All the #Twitter alternatives are making the same mistake. Only difference in their favor is that Twitter may actually go out of business on its own.

  12. “Venture capital is private subsidy that keeps the startup alive long enough until enough people have joined their platform. At this point, it’s too late. By being part of the platform we have created its value. This is the value that is sold in an exit. The only way to resist this system is to not build that value in the first place.”

  15. Wondered what had happened to #Ello a couple of days ago and now this just popped up. Ello’s dead.

    Also, someone in the comments mentions HerPlanet and Suite101. I vaguely remember those sites and it’s ridiculous how there’s barely a trace of them left on the internet. (I just googled them.)

    So much recent history … just gone.

  16. The Quiet Death of Ello’s Big Dreams
    waxy.org/2024/01/the-quiet-dea

    Remember Ello?
    Ello died quietly a few months ago.
    The social media site promised to put its users first.
    Ello promised not be funded by selling third-party ads, not sell user data, and to bind any future company owner to the same terms. In the end, Ello broke all of its core rules. Then Ello shut-down so quickly that it didn't give its members any warning or time to get out with their user-generated content.

    This article is a cautionary tale of how high ideals mean nothing when you accept VC money. At some point, the VC money dries-up and they want to collect on their debts.

    Also, I think it's notable that one of the founders went on to startup a company selling NFTs / crypto, and when that collapsed, he pivoted to a new startup churning out AI garbage.

  18. @andybaio I was thinking about #ello recently, because it's a good example of a social network whose entire plan was "give users what they *say* they want," which never actually works.

    And now we're discussing it on #Mastodon. Huh.

  19. welkom @MelodIetje op mijn tl met Like a Deer

    leren kennen op #Ello

    geïnspireerd op een schilderij “Like a Deer Caught in a Deli or Walk-in Closet” – een wel zeer vrije variatie op een compositie van Olivier Messiaen :

  20. Well, another #art and design site (niche as it was), #Ello, died last July (I was a fan, but never had a real chance to get traction on it by the time it was matured enough to be really usable), but looks like a successor, #Cohart, has spawned: teamkilleveryone.com/2023/09/0

  21. It is almost five years now since I left #Ello after it completely lost its way under its third round of management (which I swear was just one guy running it off his laptop while using free Wi-Fi at a LoDo Denver coffee bar). I'm glad I have two people I remember from Ello's better days now sharing here in the Fediverse. I wonder if any others that became disappointed in Ello ended up here? I miss how its Communities worked and wish Pillowfort would do things that way.

  22. The good news is that Ello is no longer throwing SSL errors.

    The bad news is that Ello is now throwing DNS errors. At least according to Cloudflare, though I'm resolving it.

  23. @FerdiZ There's some restructuring-related news from Talenthouse as of four days ago:

    “Talenthouse Announces Share Exchange with Atis Advanced Technologies – Restructuring Measures in Entertainment Sector”

    2023-09-07 20:32:03 Zurich (awp) – The technology platform Talenthouse, in a situation of over-indebtedness, has concluded a share exchange agreement with the Luxembourg-based Atis Advanced Technologies International Solution Holding. The contract provides for the acquisition, through an exchange of shares, of a majority stake in an unidentified company active in the entertainment sector owned by Atis....

    archyde.com/title-talenthouse-

    That's ... approximately as clear as mud, though my read is that Talentnouse sold something to ATIS for desperately-needed cash, though how much isn't stated.

  24. @Mika_Cuervo I don't -- seems like a decent idea though. A hashtag community for #Ello refugees... #ElloArtists , maybe?

  25. @Mika_Cuervo Hey, I was dredmorbius (Dr. Edward Morbius) there as well:

    Any word on what's going on with the site now? It's been down for weeks.

  26. Apparently, #Ello (the social network for artists) is dead.

    I guess I'll remove the link to my Ello page from my profile.

    Maybe I'll start using #SmugMug again.

  28. When was the last time you thought about #Ello, that #adfree and #pricacy respecting #SocialNetwork that started as a #Facebook alternative a few years ago and had caught a little traction in arty spheres?

  29. The slowly-dying Ello is again showing expired SSL certs and Cloudflare errors, presently "Invalid SSL certificate".

    Its parent/owner Talenthouse has apparently been experiencing severe financial difficulties of late. Wikipedia describes Talenthouse in the past tense, and has since 17 August.
