Do you know of any other mastodon hosting services? Aside from hosting itself, we will need help in migrating.

The danger of technology these days is how fast we are heading into a monoculture. By introducing LLMs as an abstraction layer on top of our vast and diverse history and culture, we inevitably kill those in the minority.

Yeah, funny I also can’t find a single client app that does everything I need 😄 there’s one I like for a long time (Toot!) which allows you to swipe left and right in between different masto instances. But switching timeline views is via dropdown.

oh didn’t consider the ones you need to tap. I think my favorite is when you can swipe left/right and Openvibe does it. it’s more for multi-network (masto, bsky, etc), but I guess you can use that for masto only too

not about engagement for me and I thinkthere is more & higher quality interactions here over all (given that I already did a lot of work on curating and setting up filters)
but I learn new things from the tech people who post in bsky -- so I am thinking maybe it is valuable to find/create an app as a reader of bsky posts without needing an account

2025-04-24 19:12:14 UTC

Also thought about deleting bsky account but will give it some time
It’s not going great for bsky in my opinion, in terms of freedom & data ownership

2025-04-24 19:10:13 UTC

alright, did an experiment of posting natively to bsky (not bridged from here) but I have changed my mind and am going back to posting exclusively here and having them bridged via bridgy fed

When bsky was just starting, “decentralized” was everywhere in their marketing and technical documentation. Now, reading around, I find they just stick to “open network”

If someone boosts your post on the fedi it almost always means they agree with you, so much that they want others to see your post.
To me that’s a possible indication of someone whom I want to follow as they most likely align with my ideas/values/ethics
So I recently adopted an algorithm for following folks
Boost = Follow
Additionally I also started actively organizing my lists, so accounts are categorized.

Tech is political, yes. Let’s unpack the key *political* concepts behind *technical* features that indicate a good sign (singular because they have to be complete) for platforms:
1. #Decentralization - expression of celebrating multiple cultures. For-profit organizations will do their best to dilute this concept because multiple voices are harder to sell
2. #Federation - the layer on top of decentralization that allows interaction between cultures; it facilitates “crossing borders”
3. #SelfHosting - empowering individuals and communities to have sovereignty on their digital lives
#digitalSovereignty #tech #fediverse
