in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •It occurs to me anyway that making Fediverse apps in the shape and likeness of corporate media was a mistake. Even without the ever-present feed algorithms, people still post as though they are in an attention economy in these formats because they were conditioned to do so for years.
I understand that this was done to make adoption and migration easier, but I feel like the Fediverse ultimately needs to succeed on its own terms.
