while we’re at this, some mastodon clients allows you to block domains (there are cases where this is pretty handy) while rest asks you to do that by your server’s web page. wish that’d be a standard feature for all clients.

also, i’m in the blocking camp and i believe there’s not a single bit of good in any form in allowing big networks ran by corporations to join the federation. they’re aiming for the own profits only.

From what I’ve seen around some subs moved and continued its existence, while other didn’t become active and in some cases people just snatched names of subs on most active instances expecting probably that people just flock in. Some subs attended the protests and returned to the usual activity but it seems that majority didn’t bother. Small number moved to discord or were there already extending community activity.

Fediverse seems to be attractive to people who are both consuming and providing content and who are also engaged in technology to the particular degree. Majority obviously doesn’t give a single flying fuck about what happen to reddit by badluckhuffman hands and just waited till blackout will be over.

Btw, in case you missed it: there’s pixelfed - federated replacement for instagram but it doesn’t seem to be that much popular

Yeah, as people would expect seeing something else here.

Stay fucking away from facebook, meta and zuckerberg as much as you can people

I’ve read comments saying that people flee facebook to instagram already in last 4 years as it become ridden with unrelated content and features nobody wants (obviously). People want to mainly share their photos so they went for instagram as it seem to fit their needs and perhaps meta tries to capture the audience there with their new shiny thing. The fact that musk is successfully killing off twitter might also affect their decision to bring this “killer app” up - they want to reach those who have twitter, who tend to get news from there (not mention fb also tries to be a news provider). It’s all about trapping people within meta walled garden.

Years have pass by and zuckerberg still tries to be an answer to all activity on the Internet with this ad and tracking ridden freak show - nothing new happens here, I’d say.
