 9/ The truth is, the Fediverse works better when there's many instances hosting small communities. IMO (not shared by everyone), it's all the more better when you run single-user instances because that ensures total ownership of your social data. Federation is only the first step in a better social media model. We need to integrate peer-to-peer functions too—but I'll open that can of worms some other day! (Contd.) 5 comments
11/ If federation interests you, move beyond Mastodon! Dip your toe into other Fediverse apps. Share photos with Pixelfed. Host videos with Peertube. The Fediverse isn't just a clever name. It's a universe of Fediverse protocols, apps, instances... and you! (End.) @atomicpoet my dude, while I love that viewpoint, the whole #twittermigration isn’t happening because a bunch of new users are suddenly fascinated by a new technology. They are doing it because of the tantrums being thrown by a certain corrupt billionaire. @richardc Sorry, you got to be more clear because I'm not reading between the lines. Why does this thread have to do with Elon Musk? And why should that impact an explanation for why I have multiple accounts and instances? @atomicpoet I also have a second for romance writers and I'll do a third for movies and TV shows. This main is to watch, learn and post, erm, toot at large. I'm grateful I'm not the only person doing this. |

I've previously said that federation is *the* Fediverse's killer feature. Hell, it's in the name.
If there's no federation, what's the point?
Should any Fediverse app remove federation functionality, it has no reason to exist—it should be thrown in a dumpster fire.
Examples of these dumpster fire apps inside Truth Social and Counter Social—all which have essentially removed federation functionality.
But that's okay! Without federation these apps are destined to die. (Contd.)
