Gregory's Server@mapto I don't know; does Mastodon have any relevance? ๐ค It brought over many tens of thousands of users during the moment/s when people were fleeing Twitter, and was written up in countless news stories then. It is also the subject of a paper I spent many hours experiencing, writing, and editing, to which you're responding, to tell me this topic isn't relevant. Do I have that right?

  @inquiline @ophiocephalic >>the other capitalist networks also introduce effective lossiness in the form of the algorithm (and more deliberatively, censorship) Yes, IMO this is a really good point and I wouldn't want to overstate the contrast from a user's perspective in particular; tho the mechanisms behind the lossiness differ as you point out. Wish I could add this as a FN! @inquiline @ophiocephalic ๐ฏ exactly what I conclude too. ! >> are we building a space for communities to organize in, or a twitter clone to conquer the world And this is also a really good reminder/prompt @inquiline  @inquiline Please accept my apologies. I did not consider that my doubt and opinion would be perceived as questioning your deeds or liberties. I did not think that bringing up another metric to the discussion and trying to contextualise it, would be seen as an act of hostility. To everyone else that commented and gave labels here, I'm sorry and I withdraw with my own observations about the social dynamics exposed here. @mapto Thanks, appreciate it. (This kind of misunderstanding can be modulated a lot by tone & framing that expresses intent. If you'd prefaced your remark with "Interesting paper. Do you think Mastodon itself is already becoming less relevant..." I think it's safe to say the reaction would have been pretty different, because it would have been perceived as conversational, not antagonistic) |
