Dumpster fire still burning. Throwing gas on the flames did not fix the problem. News at 11.

Every time Huffman speaks, someone comes out with the receipts that prove otherwise. Maybe the dude should STFU now n

We need to understand, though, that the Fediverse is going to undergo similar changes and struggles. People aren’t going to want to pay to run servers, forever, and there will be lost servers and ones that suddenly have ads or subscription fees.

Granted, this creates competition and it’ll be better for the end user, but the utopia of Mastodon and KBin is going to be challenged by the crappy, but very real, realities of the world.

Lmao they banned you for that? That’s incredibly legendary of you.

First thing I did. Makes it a little more app like. Still can’t wait to see what clients get released in the next few months.

Yeah that’s my only concern and why I stick with the major instances, for now. I know monetization for the sake of running the services is going to have to come at some point. I’m sure we’ll see a bunch of variations and approaches and I hope people are open to the ideas. I want the fediverse to grow and, for that to happen, we need to make sure it’s sustainable for the people who choose to help prop it up.

For years, Twitter held an outsized position in the social conversation and Elon has managed to ruin that. It was the single biggest strength, IMO. No one spoke about someone’s Facebook posts or Reddit posts; society spoke about people’s Tweets. The idiot ruined that and somehow this dope wants to emulate him?

You add years upon years of value, get nothing more than a sense of fulfillment while they get paid, and get booted out.

I’m sorry, man. That has to sting.

I just don’t understand the purpose of this guy’s interview tour and insistence on trying to make the developers the villain. It would simply be better for the brand if he said absolutely nothing.
