#fediverse, come for the erudite, entertaining social interaction, stay for the #shitposting.
I am back from a short vacation in the mountains and I'm upset at not one but two kink-themed, adult-friendly servers shutting down (kinkyelephant.com and noods.fun) and the Guppe groups as well with the two major replacements (FediGroups and Newsmast) banning adult groups. The #Fediverse was supposed to be the place for adult creators, what the hell is happening?
I’m not here to convince anyone, and honestly, I don’t care what you think, as long as you treat people with kindness and respect, that’s all that matters to me, unless you’re a fascist, then I don’t.

For people who want the Fediverse to thrive as a welcoming space, this explanation from @… of typical harassment methods is important to understand.
It's a key part of the answer to "How come Black people or disabled people say they're receiving horrible posts, but _I_ never see anything bad here?" Or "Why don't these people just learn how to block?"
Once you understand the practical framework of what's able to happen invisible to you, you're much less likely to come over as disbelieving and dismissive - a dynamic which otherwise forms another layer of the problem.

I just watched a youtube video by Taylor Lorenz and some dude about how "nobody's posting anymore" and it was cringeworthy. It's how about social media is just professional influencers, "hyper-curated", with slop and ads ruining things. Nobody's doing casual posting anymore.
It's almost comical how they suggest newsletters and substack as alternatives (or "do your own blog") when the

The coolest part of the #Fediverse and #Mastodon (albeit all of the Fediverse) is that we are all running on separate instances and programs yet we are connected to eachother.

This week's Mindscape podcast is with Petter Törnberg who has been running agent based simulated social networks to try and figure out why they're so divisive and polarizing.
His models do apparently capture these features of the networks which promote the most popular posts to everyone.
Sad to learn that simply using chronological feeds apparently not only doesn't help he reckons it makes things worse!
Maybe his agent's just aren't smart enough to follow the right people, but then probably nor are mere humans.

"What do you lose by using Facebook", asked a friend who is keen to keep his account there for some reason.
What made me leave was the manipulation. I mean: they started hiding your friends posts in order to show you adverts instead! Feeding you slop from their promoted posts and "viral" messages (that aren't actually boosted by anyone, just picked out by their megaphone to show to everyone).
If you let the algorithm determine what you see than you let it determine what you are, who you become.
Even if you think it's better at finding shiny things than you, even if you think it builds the parasocial relationships that you want, even if you think it's saving you time to let the robot manage your reading-list: if you are letting Facebook, or any algorithm written by advertisers, do your reading selection then you are letting Facebook decide who you are.
On behalf of the advertisers who bribe them the most.
This is why you gotta use RSS. You gotta use the chronological timelines not the "for you" feeds. You gotta build follow relationships that you choose and understand because otherwise, you are letting the corporation and it's systems determine these things. You are abdicating some control of your very self to the machine.
Not to mention that we have to stop feeding money to the evil multi-trillion dollar companies built to control and manipulate us through our relationships with our friends. They have enough money, they need less participation not more.

The Danish independent media organisation @… are on a member drive with 10 promises if they make it to 50,000, including that they'll share more on social media. I can dream they'll make it to the #fediverse I suppose?
In any case their journalism is outstanding and they carefully avoid making an explicit political stance and contributing to polarisation. #UnbreakingNews
In depth journalism you can read or listen to (try deepL if you don't speak Danish), often beautifully produced, always fascinating. They also don't report on problems without reporting solutions.
It's by far the most uplifting read/listen of my day.
