I don’t think it’s accurate and actually a bit disingenuous to lump WordPress and Flipboard together with Facebook/Threads, because these entities behave drastically differently, Flipboard and Wordpress are sharing their content with others on the Fediverse (plus wordpress is hosted software, people can run their own versions of it independently) without trying to compromise and manipulate users, Facebook is trying to recruit Fediverse users onto their platforms, that’s why they’re doing one-way Federation and banning Keywords related to Fediverse related platforms. To say “iT’S All cOrPOrATe” is ignoring these key facts, which is why I say it seems disingenuous.
Bad instances are going to be a struggle always, that’s just the nature of a federated network, there will always be bad actors, compromised nodes, and malicious users that we have to deal with, that’s never going to end no matter what happens. Even if it becomes infrequent it’ll still always happen.
Well, but that’s what people around the Fedipact are doing. And probably, this is a fraction of the Fediverse that is going to stay
The middle one! I think for-profit and non-profit solutions can co-exist and benefit off each other :)
public companies always enshittify in the end so 3rd one
Not necessarily. And in the Fediverse even more not
Federation is like the magic lotion against enshitification
how can you say that?
Its a lucky guess. Enshitification happens in walled gardens because users cannot move to another service. In the Fediverse, I think this aggressive commercialization will not happen because users can just change to another server.
Fourth panel, meaning Corporate & Tankie Fediverse vs Free Fediverse.
Open fediverse and bad instances
I’ll be honest, I never think about it. That’s such a minor and non-relevant issue to have in my life, I can get to that once everything else works for a change. :'(
Fourth panel. AI trained on all the above, floods it all with generated content rendering the signal-to-noise ratio too terrible to tolerate, even for corporations.
