MEMO: CounterSocial is not a member of the Fediverse. What's more they lock features behind a pay wall, and claim (wrongly!) that when other Fediverse instances defederate with yours, they're breaking the AGPL. https://countersocial.documize.com/s/c30dhakp0nhtab60utag/countersocial-blog/d/c5piofvuaqg133k3is90/the-history-of-countersocial-and-mastodon
@atomicpoet one of the main reasons I started this instance was to see if the comedian was full of shit about the de-fedi. they are indeed full of shit.
@JoYo @atomicpoet Can someone fill me in on the details here? My mother is intending to join counter.social and I don't think she knows about its issues.
@JoYo @atomicpoet Got it.
I may be able to recommend her to an actual Fediverse instance. Is democracy.town recommended?
@JoYo @atomicpoet Thanks! I will recommend it to her! It seems like an instance she will really enjoy!
@JoYo @mathlover I wouldn't trust a social network that lies so blatantly about the AGPL.
@atomicpoet @JoYo Thanks. I got her to look at democracy.town instead.
@mathlover @atomicpoet there’s nothing wrong with c.s but it’s not connected to the fediverse. you won’t see her posts and she can’t see yours. this is by design of thejester and I occasionally bully them about it on twitter.
