This is a huge thing for the ferdiverse. Let's see where this leads.

The first signs of journalism finding some independence from social media? That would be very welcome.

Are we surprised? Not at all...

USENET lives! Another revival coming?

Interesting evolution... looks like people will all go back to some chat system? It'll be the 90's all over again? Maybe IRC will make a comeback? :-)

Interesting and provoking thought... Indeed it's hard to build communities while also aiming for rapid and constant growth. There's no chance of having communities properly stabilize which leads to the tribalism and bad behavior we see on social media.

Clearly the UI design matters quite a bit in term of how addictive all those social network systems are. The alternative proposed here is interesting, I wish it'd be more widely implemented.

This clearly doesn't look as interesting as ActivityPub...

Lengthy but thorough. The evidences are now getting much clearer. Admittedly, the most worrying bit I find is that getting off the social media wagon might not help the impacted people to get better... indeed they might still be isolated if everyone else is still trapped on social media.

A very interesting metaphor. Indeed on social media we're not dealing with gardens.

Interesting take, let's see if it's true and things will decentralize (or at least audiences fragment, the author seems to confuse both) more in the future.

As they say: follow the money. That gives an idea about the incentives and various agendas behind this take over.

Interesting ideas for a proper RSS renaissance.

This is really going down the drain. Right wings extremists basically took over the content moderation vacuum. I wonder how long before this turns into simply into an extremist echo chamber with no real user on it.

This sudden rise of the Fediverse is indeed a chance. Let's hope it's not wasted. Good list of things to pay attention to in this article.

There are indeed a few architectural problems with the Fediverse as it is. Can this be solved? Hopefully yes.

Interesting point of view, also lays out nicely how social networks degenerated into social media. I appreciate this kind of perspective.

Success is a two sided coin. Clearly this mass exodus of Twitter users will overwhelm existing Mastodon users and a few instance administrators. It's understandable that is can be perceived as some kind of assault from people not used to the customs. How will the preexisting culture hold? The Pandora box is now opened we shall see.

Good thinking about the recent Mastodon users increase. Highlights fairly well why it's desirable, why it's a better social media platform but also the challenges ahead... including resources consumption.

The most addictive and also tracking you everywhere it can (unsurprisingly). Toxicity at its highest.
