The only other reason I like sticking around here is because this account was created in 2018 so I get to pretend like I was one of the OG cool kids.<br/><br/>You *could* look into having your own personal single-person instance like I’ve done ( <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1z3mcjcv2xhwpqgsx7hvmwqfu8lmczcrxkw4lnr2v07hg2fqsm7xsu5zn2f" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>shellsharks</span> (<span class="italic">npub1z3m…zn2f</span>)</a></span> ) .

Popular fediverse instances aren’t “winners”. What does that even mean in the AP context?<br/>2. AT’s “practical decentralization” is still not REAL (yet?). What percentage of the user base is on the two juggernaut instances? Hardly meaningfully decentralized.<br/>3. Will it exist beyond VC runway?<br/>4. Paul admits to lingering deplatforming issues 😬 2026-02-25T19:26:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx8jh2nu5h7w08a44873f5ssvgkcp2t27t35l83r8x97h8su04t6qzypfenha77yamckmvsgyr7vd66s38qky7g96dnmw52jxe6z9rmuurjphp4m2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstxdcfywc9zc9eewyhac2kjmkf83az8vp2nz4exfdvxlcd5kmvr6sm8z802'>nevent1q…z802</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>14k+ followers (and growing) tells a different story.

I prefer, how good is my timeline? Do I enjoy the scroll? Am I seeing things *I* want to engage with? Am I saving/bookmarking things? Following links out? Boosting stuff I want others to see?<br/><br/>&#34;Engagement&#34; (on something I post), is a short-lived high, and not a reliable way to enjoy a social network in my experience. Build a good feed though and it&#39;ll almost always be enjoyable 👍 2024-12-10T22:38:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs24hnkh5cdl8paa87zsxwnddhtsv2cuwf4yfv8fj77kpztaq69d8qzypfenha77yamckmvsgyr7vd66s38qky7g96dnmw52jxe6z9rmuurj544aql In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx8m4nw3vwlx3q9np7vd3x08a43xw5e9vd4lfej5fk9jwmpc3uywcfntxc5'>nevent1q…txc5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>good bot 2024-08-20T03:35:58Z
