Communities are best served by an instance more tailored to their content. General instances are good and convenient for people new to the platform, but they’re dangerous to communities. Think of all the beehaw.org communities that are effectively quarantined from .world users. Not that defederation is wrong, in fact I’m a huge supporter of defederation as a whole. But putting relevant content onto a more relevant instance will ensure that the community will be more likely accessible, broadly, to users regardless of defederation.

If .ml wishes to not have anime content, that’s entirely their prerogative. It’s important, then, that anime be moved to somewhere that is is welcome, or else those in the community may find themselves without a community at any given time.

These actions are being taken by .ml site admin Arthur Besse / cypherpunks. There’s nothing I can do as a mere community mod ^^

This is clearly causing pretty fundamental problems to infrastructure this community’s reliant on. Cross-promotion would be fine, imo. We just need to know what the users want of the community.

Communities on the fediverse aren’t beholden to a single instance as well. If .ml admins can’t come to agreement to refederate, y’all should contact the shinobu bot dev to start including links to ani-social discussions on this instance, and petition mods of this community to do something to help that transition (what that is? I dunno).

That said, I’m saying this having read these comments but not the og post. idk what the actual context to the conversation is, nor validity of the defederation, I’m just pro-democracy.

I of course can’t speak on behalf of N3DSdude, but I’m in support of whatever the community wants to happen, happening. Just give us reason to believe it’s actually a significant portion of the community please

Gotchu, ty for doing these btw

gotchu ♥

I got it a bit ago, sorry for the delay; federation apparently doesn’t distribute moderation properly

Looking forward to a movie of this! I loved the tv series.

Can’t say I’ve felt any such issues. Probably comes down to you being on the biggest instance.

Forgive my ramblings, but here’s the main differences I see, from a community perspective:

Bluesky’s for people who loved twitter circa 2015
Mastodon’s for people who loved the format but hated the way the platform made use of it. The community is FOSS-focused and anti-corporate.
Bluesky folks are anti-corporate, but they still want their social media to be on a single platform and tend to dislike federation
Mastodon folks tend to be in smaller circles and more tech enthused

Features-wise, Mastodon kills the algorithm in favour of chronological timelines and lists, while Bluesky embraces algorithms, allowing people to even make their own algorithms for the platform. Bluesky’s AT Proto uses “DIDs” to identify users, which are associated directly with a domain^[1]. This means that when federation does eventually happen, usernames will just be @my.domain.com instead of ActivityPub’s @actor@my.domain.com.

Federation’s still not enabled so I have no clue how things will look and feel on that front, nor am I familiar enough with the protocol to make any claim about how versatile it is. ActivityPub is flexible enough to be a Twitter clone, a reddit clone, a blogging platform, a youtube clone, a twitch clone, a goodreads clone, or several other formats. AT Proto’s currently only proven to work for a Twitter clone.

You’ve got something on your lip, right here

You can use this logic to explain away any other ponzi scheme too.

IIRC they backpedalled on that before they released due to the massive backlash

IIRC current twitter blue subscribers see 50% fewer ads than free users.

I can’t imagine there’s many people who even like twitter on the fediverse, much less would like it enough to pay for it.

My mistake, I figured it was easy enough to confuse X as in Twitter with X as in several dozen other tech and tech-adjacent projects.

TL;DW
