In fact, it would be the sign of a healthy, decentralised network.<br /><br /> However, ActivityPub and Mastodon are designed the same way Big Tech/Big Web is: to encourage services that host as many “users” as they can.<br /><br /> This design is both complex (which makes it difficult and expensive to self-host) and works beautifully for Big Tech (where things are centralised and scale vertically and where the goal is to get/own/control/exploit as many users as possible).<br /><br /> In Big Tech, the initial cost of obtaining such scale is subsidised by vast amounts of venture capital [...]<br /><br /> However, unlike Big Tech, the stated goal of the fediverse is to decentralise things, not centralise them. Yet how likely is it we can achieve the opposite of Big Tech’s goals while adopting its same fundamental design?<br /><br /> When you adopt the design of a thing, you also inherit the success criteria that led to the evolution of that design.

I have my own personal Mastodon instance, just for me.4<br /> 2. I’m followed by quite a number of people. Over 22,000, to be exact.<br /> 3. I follow a lot of people and I genuinely enjoy having conversations with them. [...]<br /><br /> Unfortunately, the combination of these three factors creates a perfect storm which means that now, every time I post something that gets lots of engagement, I essentially end up carrying out a denial of service attack on myself. [...]<br /><br /> So, what’s the solution?<br /><br /> Well, there’s only one thing you can do when you find yourself in such a pickle: scale up your Mastodon instance. The problem with that? It starts getting expensive. »<br /><br /> --------------<br /><br /> Yes, scale the instance and have it get more expensive is one problem. <br /><br /> But the other is that by doing so you either oust smaller instances or force them to scale up as well to stay visible and "see" enough accounts.<br /><br /> #<span class="tag"><a href="https://gnusocial.net/tag/fediverse" rel="tag">fediverse</a></span> #<span class="tag"><a href="https://gnusocial.net/tag/federation" rel="tag">federation</a></span> !<a href="https://gnusocial.net/group/845/id" class="h-card u-url p-nickname group" title="gnusocial (gnusocial)">gnusocial</a> !<a href="https://nu.federati.net/group/239/id" class="h-card u-url p-nickname group" title="Federati Networks (fnetworks)">fnetworks</a>3414041http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2022-11-14T18:32:52+00:002022-11-14T18:32:52+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://gnusocial.net/index.php/user/176220simsa04I'm a kitchen porter, cleaner, lavatory attendant.

But you rely on "freedom" (whose?) to describe a structure that doesn't explain why newbies can and cannot subscribe to other people or otherwise interact with accounts and posts.<br /><br /> A different way is stop putting "freedom" into the centre – which in itself is a rather problematic hierarchical approach as it invokes the imagery of landlords dealing with their rowdy tenants – and explain to people the basics of #<span class="tag"><a href="https://gnusocial.net/tag/federation" rel="tag">federation</a></span>, from which most of the peculiarities and problems of fediverse interactions arise.<br /><br /> 2015 I wrote a piece for Twitter migrants to GNUsocial primarily from the angle of a layperson, explaining the various oddities by pointing to and explaining from federation as the root cause.

What changes does he have in mind that people supposedly fear so much that they think about moving to the #<span class="tag"><a href="https://gnusocial.net/tag/fediverse" rel="tag">Fediverse</a></span> -- of all places!<br /><br /> 2) The author's categorisation of user groups (# 6):<br /> 1. Programmers & tech enthusiasts<br /> 2. LGBTQIA+<br /> 3. Furries<br /> 4. Neurodivergent<br /> may be true for some Mastodon and Pleroma instances, but to reduce the Fediverse inhabitants to these four groups, even call them core groups, is ridiculous. <br /><br /> 3) His advice to scale quickly, i.e., to build more instances, is misguided, as more instances still face the already endemic problem of mutual de-federating of instances (and the subsequent break-up of the Fediverse in various mutual excluding Sub-diverses). More machines will not alleviate the pressure of the expected wave of new people, as the machines won't interact. Instead, the result will rather be more silos, i.e., more Twitter imitations.<br /><br /> 4) Building the Fediverse (# 18) is "about building a ROBUST social media infrastructure that is protected from the whims of shareholders and governments". Nah, that is the usual understanding of instances as machines whereas instances are rather conversations. As shareholders and governments are not interested in conversations, they won't be interested in the Fediverse.<br /><br /> After all those years, people still don't understand the Fediverse. And THAT is quite interesting.<br /><br /> !<a href="https://nu.federati.net/group/239/id" class="h-card u-url p-nickname group" title="Federati Networks (fnetworks)">FNetworks</a>3410461http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2022-10-05T00:45:43+00:002022-10-05T00:45:43+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://gnusocial.net/index.php/user/176220simsa04I'm a kitchen porter, cleaner, lavatory attendant.
