@c6d0060b A lot of these features that distinguish Fedi are *worse* for most users. Opt-in search means it's hard to find what I'm looking for; it's way worse user experience than the global search available on Bluesky, and has been cited as one of the top reasons by people who chose not to use the Fediverse why they left.
@c6d0060b who cares about content warnings?
@c6d0060b okay, das mit dem "safe space" würde ich nicht zu 100% unterschreiben. Ich habe hier schon dinge gesehen, die hab sogar ich noch nicht gesehen. Gut im Play Store ist Mastodon mit 18 Jahren empfohlen und im App Store 17+ - für Kinder und Jugendliche würde ich es tatsächlich nicht empfehlen.
@c6d0060b Twitter actually is partly open-source: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm-ml
@@c6d0060b Is Mastodon a service? I think it is a software. The "service" is mementomori.social and many others, some of them not being a service at all. It would be better called Activitypub provider network, technically speaking, or Fediverse, which is wider term and covers other protocols too.
@c6d0060b Nicely done! Small nitpick: I wonder if there would be a way to incorporate Fedi (vs Mastodon only) without compromising the clarity. Maybe in the alt text. Only real difference is if the other software supports CW. Then again I think Mastodon proper is 50-75% of the traffic...
@c6d0060b FYI: Bluesky (or ATProto according to the diagram there) *can* be self-hosted. The thing is the instance of the Bluesky BGS doesn’t aggregate with other PDSs but Bluesky’s official one (for now). So while technically you can self-host it, it may not be as useful until your PDS can be connected to the main BGS.
@c6d0060b no ads on masto? what do you call this then? https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/media_attachments/files/111/193/646/738/227/367/original/5cb70c185bec5fa7.jpg
@c6d0060b One criteria I would add to that chart would be "is it #AltText/Voiceover friendly?" I know Mastodon allows visually impaired users to hear text, and the culture here promotes lots of AltText inclusion. Technically, AltText is possible on the Bird Site, but I haven't checked to see if folks include it often.
@c6d0060b I wouldn't call #Mastodon or the #Fediverse a safe space, though. Depending on where you look, you can definitely find the unfiltered and unrestricted variety™ of the internet. But I think that's a good thing. And there are plenty of tools to protect yourself. Maybe that's what you meant?
