I miss the old Twitter when I saw the stupid X animation.

Twitter X is Elon Musk’s world. Pretty soon he’ll have so much control over his platform that he can practically cron kings and manipulate outcomes to fit his personal political agenda. And don’t even get me started on his whole stupid “X the everything app bullshit.

The only everything app that has succeeded so far is WeChat in China. But it’s apparently a surveillance app for the masses by the government. Seriously, why the hell would I want to link my social media account with my bank account and even my government ID? What’s the benefit in that?

I’d rather keep the digital me disconnected to the real me.

        By “established” what I really mean is it’s already gone through the difficult part (i.e. while it’s not dominant I think it’s passed most of the hurdles that most attempted platforms have failed at). If something’s going to do better than Mastodon, it’s going to have to have something that people want that Mastodon doesn’t have, which I’m not seeing here, but maybe I’m wrong.

        I’m personally using a modded version of the official mastodon app called Moshitodon with my firefish account, not perfect and missing firefish-only features but it works

      There’s nothing wrong with Mastodon, but when comparing it to WireMin, I prefer the latter. Because Mastodon is part of the Fediverse, it’s not fully decentralized. This means instance owners on Mastodon have certain privileges and can ban users.

      While some might argue that a lack of moderation leads to chaos, but idc to be honest, I value the uncensored nature of platforms. On WireMin, I can remain completely anonymous, retain full ownership of my content, and no one can remove it. If someone disagrees with me, they can comment, just as in chat rooms.

      Plus, WireMin displays only active spaces from the past 48 hours in the discovery section, and these are presented randomly. Advertisers are restricted to promoting within their own spaces, so if I don’t wish to see their content, I simply avoid that space.

      Sry, I am just in love with decentralized network.
