"We're 18 years old," Huffman said. "I think it's time we grow up and behave like an adult company."

Says the guy who's behaving like a petulant 5-year old.

Well, at least Reddit has admitted their "we're not trying to be like Twitter/Elon" stuff was false

A Montana man who fired an AK-style rifle at the home of a lesbian woman and said he wanted to “get rid of” gay people in his small town has been sentenced to 18 years in prison. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-wanted-kill-gay-people-opened-fire-montana-town-sentenced-18-years-rcna89408

MAGA folks have been complaining about Biden supposedly weoponizing the federal government against his political enemies, but cheer at Trump when he holds a rally and describes how he would weoponize the federal government against his political enemies.

The hypocrisy is astounding and underscores the primary problem with MAGA. In their ever present bid to "own the libs" they support and cheer for every ideologies they claim to not endorse.

Sometimes I doubt capitalism can solve climate change.

Tech Press don’t understand the #Fediverse, so how can they understand its growth?

To hear them talk, most of them believe that #Mastodon and the Fediverse are one and the the same. Some of them go so far as to call the Fediverse the “Mastodon network”.

Which means that they don’t have a clue about what the Fediverse entails, nor how it has grown.

Case in point: between Jan-May 2023, #Misskey and its forks grew by 300,000 accounts. No one in the Tech Press reported this.

Okay, perhaps they didn’t know because the bulk of growth happened in Japan. But still, this is fairly important to know since Misskey is now responsible for generating the bulk of Fediverse content. Still, Tech Press think the Fediverse is about Mastodon.

And now, #Lemmy and #Kbin are experiencing lots of growth, with both collectively gaining 100,000 users in a week. This is quite a noteworthy event since the #RedditMigration is part and parcel of dissension on #Reddit – a pretty major Big Social platform.

Does the Tech Media report on this? Nope. But again, that’s because they don’t understand the Fediverse nor what it entails.

Then Meta signal that a new project they’re making, #P92 (a.k.a., #Barcelona), will be joining the Fediverse. There’s even screenshots that show this app interacting with remote Fediverse servers.

But instead of reporting about how this will affect the existing Fediverse, press such as the #BBC say this is an altogether different social network than Mastodon.

That’s right! Tech Press don’t even realize P92 will be joining the Fediverse – a social network that already exists!

Is this all ridiculous? Yes.

But this is why we have to be forthright about what the Fediverse is, what it entails, and what it all matters.

We, on the Fediverse, must be our own Press.

@shoq I feel like maybe 10% of my tweets were ever read by more than a handful of people (even pre-Musk).

If I ever check my Twitter feed (which is almost never nowadays) it is the same people with largish follower counts saying the same stuff... most of them only got that many followers by being in the right place at the right time, not because they say anything particularly interesting.

Mastodon is not perfect, but at least it feels like people are genuinely trying to connect here.
