  7. I often see people complaining about the fact that people don't want to switch from traditional centralized social media to Fedilerse platforms.

    But I feel like in reality it actually looks a bit different:
    I hear of lots of people ditching traditional social media for the Fediverse (and maybe Bluesky but thet's just the hip new kid on the block right now, people are already leaving that too)
    But I don't ever hear from ones that ditch the Fediverse to go back once they are actually established here.

    So the issue is clearly not growing adoption. The issue is how do we properly design the onboarding and how do we manage the growth to not run into too many pain points.

    E.g. some growing pains that are already happening:

    • Overloaded, centralized Mastodon instances and no full migration to other instances (posts will not get transfered but those are important for artists and journalists)
    • Moderation of potentially really sick content being pushed on very few volunteers as well as no system to propagate moderation actions across instances (nor content warnings/fake news checks)
    • Behavior of instance owners and moderators reflecting badly on their users. There needs to be some standard to hold people in power responsible for and for established entities to be trusted to call out such behaviour. (Basically we need Fediverse-journalism)
    • Spam. Basically we need the same filtering services as for eMail unfortunately
    • Branding. Most people just know of Mastodon. It's nice to have some software that acts as a champion for the Fediverse and which even has a company behind it but similarly to how Chromium is now shaping the www Mastodon might end up doing the same for the Fediverse. We need more major instances running alternative software. (They could even just differ in frontend or backend, not the whole stack)
    • No good ways for artists to monetize their content and due to the nature of the Fediverse commisions based on reach just doesn't worh. And unfortunately we still mostly live in a capitalist society so money is a requirement to live so we need to find ways to better support artists which aren't just paywalls which discriminate against poor people or have ardists end up as hidden ads in the form of paid influencers.

  8. REALLY wish that word mutes weren't case-sensitive. i am already very tired of adding different variations of the exact same thing every time a new one slips through

  9. @jamesthomson it’s going to be fun to look back on this in 3-5 short years and (hopefully) be amazed at how quickly things got better. And hopefully we’ll be able to laugh about how hilarious v1 of all of this was, kind of like the watch. #growingpains
