@Gargron

by far right they mean all of us who hate tyranny?

@Gargron pretty fair, though. there should have been a quote about how toxic QTs are, and why the lack of them on masto makes it better

@Gargron At least they didn't quote you saying "sorting posts chronologically is an algorithm, I am very smart" like they did to the Planetary dude

@Gargron: I'm pretty mixed about that mention lol. I guess any mention's a good mention?

@Gargron You might follow up with them and explain how Gab was responded to, the article makes it seem like they're still part of fediverse.

@Gargron does it even have as many readers as Mastodon has users? :)

@Gargron there's not a single mention of 'federation' or 'fediverse' anywhere in that article, which, imo, is the only thing that makes decentralized social networks work

@Gargron Maybe it's because I recently got up but that article seems rather unfocused.

And the way they talk of decentralised as if P2P is the only architecture model and as if Bluesky is the only system to seriously consider is just unhelpful to basically anybody but maybe Twitter.

@Gargron IBM did this in the 70s thinking that they are the only serious players in IT and Commodore or Apple are just making toys. And where is IBM now? However, these articles have the potential to falsely introduce a new social network era as even-worse-than-we-are-so-you-should-stick-with-us. There are so much super-shallow "technical" writers out there blowing this propaganda.

@Gargron Why do you think it's not positive?

@Gargron These companies massively benefit from twitters trending section, they don't like the idea that people will move to mastodon where people are not forced to look at the news if they don't want to. Don't expect any love from the mainstream media.

@Gargron I don't understand why these fascists even need to mentioned in that article.

You are talking about the damn technology not the damn people using it other then the amount of users currently using it, I see no reason why they needed to attach such hateful people with Mastodon.

But what the hell do I know?

@Gargron Not really sure what you expected -- you built a decentralized network, whose primary audience is high risk communities. Normal communities don't need Mastodon.

@Gargron
I once heard even if people are talking bad about you, at least they're still talking about you....
