@ikuturso @_elena @marjolica somehow I wish they have federated, so to have the possibility to slap them with a defederation

@mastodonmigration - thank you for the info. Was not aware. Cancelled my account.It's the lack of transparency that boddered me the most. Not trustworthy anymore when they act like that.

@mike @mastodonmigration @quillmatiq @mmasnick @ricci Clunky is putting it lightly because you CANNOT switch instance, you delete your account and start a new one. You can transfer your social graph but lose everything else (posts, private messages, likes bookmarks, everything is lost).I would not call this switching nor changing user name, that's a social graph copy to a new account

@_elena Yikes!

@amministratore @internet semplicemente alla gente non frega nulla di privacy, sovramismo ecc....

@blog@shkspr.mobi Such a great read. Thank you for the thoroughness. I loved this. We need a new way to measure the #smallSocial effect. Right now people saw we fail because they only look at one platform. #BigTech had to invent "monthly active users" to help people understand their "value". They're trying to measure us the same, but we're nowhere near the same. We're an evolution and no one will ever truly know how many of us there are. So I beg folks, don't look at one or two or three instances and say that because some arbitrary number goes down that we're losing or dieing. No no no. We're growing and learning and finding ways that Big Tech NEVER wanted to exist. Just because they use a yard stick doesn't mean we need to be constrained by that. EVERYONE please keep up the incredible work. I'll fight for this the #restOfMyLife. How about all of you?<span class="invisible"> #RomL #smallSocial #smallWeb #fedi #Fediverse </span>

@darnell @alpacasncats @mosseri @threads @conno_r @pfefferle @mike @Gargron @ottman@minds.com @john@minds.com @dansup with the terrible marketing the fediverse has it's number ia impressive. Blueaky popularity is not suppriaing since it was created by jack dorsey

@wjmaggos There is a problem with the Barnes and Noble analogy. Yes, if you are on mastodon.social and they ban you, you will lose your data. But if you are on hachyderm and mastodon.social blocks you, you don't lose you data (and you can still be seen by the rest of the Fedi). In the analogy, it's like the later case. As long as you trust your server provider your data is fine. It's the same for both network protocols.
