Thank you!!

>>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!

Appreciate your consideration of that idea! Yes, either way, there are headwinds; but one could argue that it's more favorable terrain for the activist to face the mostly disorderly lossiness of the fedi over the engineered lossiness of, say, a cryptofascist billionaire-owner. As you note, further development pathways will be key (i.e. are we building a space for communities to organize in, or a twitter clone to conquer the world?)

💯 exactly what I conclude too. !

And this is also a really good reminder/prompt

TY! BTW, I was in Green Apple the other day and took a hunt for Oil Beach. I didn't find it but it's on my list!
