@chikorita157Yikes, look how much Meta wants to collect from you with their new “Threads" app, which is defederated by most servers.

@chikorita157 Defederation is going to kill Mastodon. Maybe Bluesky or Threads won't gain traction, but something where a handful of admins don't utterly destroy the SOCIAL CONNECTIONS built by their users will come along and be good and this place will cruise along banning each other over increasingly narrow ideals until there is no one left.
Normal users don't want all this crap, they just want to follow friends and have everything work... :(
@Ragashingo @chikorita157 I can understand this fear, it's not impossible.
But the alternatives just aren't for me. I'm starting to think maybe the Fediverse just isn't for "everybody" you know? Not trying to exclude anyone, just that these places have different values.
And to be fair, we've been watching Twitter demolish those social connections too. Either option could implode, but I like what is being built here. It feels like thinking towards the future instead of just caring about the easy things in the now.
