I recommend looking up what enclosure means. Federation is a matter of simple inspection. People can see the federation graph. Moving house doesn’t entail a loss of function a per platform proprietary bot curator creates. This is why I won’t opt in for it. Plus I don’t sample short content much.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @TuxOnBike @hszakher @alb_004 @pixelfed sorry I thought you meant more walled gardens or hidden content. Afaik if you are on a defederated server you’ll never see or hear content outside of that. Can you send a helpful link on enclosure because I’ve done a few vectors of search and am not finding relevance.

What forced the peasants off the commons by making the commons private property.

Today, this goes both ways. Proprietary systems present limitations (freedom of movement etc) and options for abuse.

Added into the mix is a healthy dose of distaste for machine curated content.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell this is wrong. You’re trying to make it sound nice as it’s what you agree with. User data & identity are tethered to an instance. Per instance can very much vary as far as functionality so that statement is a fallacy, please do not make things up to fit your narrative.

Hmmm, people move ship with some regularity within the fediverse. This is the essence of a commons. My basic thesis is that an algorithm in a server is intrinsically different from the algorithm in people’s heads. Even as people move servers the network and the network investment they build up goes with them.

People as the basic algorithm is not in the server. It’s in each person’s heads.

This is why I choose to avoid algorithm curated platforms.
