The locked in effect always is there, and the VC effect, not really dismantled in this thread, can't be fixed. To begin with, VC makes it's money by the value increase of the stocks as early investors in the first place, not the real earnings of the company.</p><p>The coding community got locked into github and is now simply f***.<br>Of course the community is working on the decentralized alternatives already, yet every, literally every single click on a keyboard or mouse on their platforms furthers their advantage and increases their advantage, obligating us to create another work around and to wait until the latest locked in effect has vanished, as worn out.</p><p>And btw, talking the whole time about mastodon without realizing and mentioning that this is about <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=activityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activityPub</span></a> is just creating the next single point of failure, the reign of mastodon itself. And not mentioning that mastodon is just one evolutionary step in the <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=fediVerse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediVerse</span></a> since, <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=GNUsocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNUsocial</span></a>, <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=Diaspora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diaspora</span></a>, <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>friendica</span></a> is showing of illiteracy in the field.</p><p>The biggest problem of diaspora was the size of the joindiaspora server, and the incapability of letting go, of stepping aside and starting to manage a coding community. The biggest problem of the fediVerse right now is the size of mastodon.social. Mastodon.social itself is rendering the idea of a decentralized social web meaningless in the first place. And every one signing onto mastodon.social is proving that he didn't get the point in the first place. Same as those who want for bluesky.</p><p>The interesting part, the fediVerse knows that <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> is just a stepping stone, a step on the stairs.<br>In part, locking in is brand identification, it's pure tribalism. Promoting mastodon instead of the fediVerse is promoting one of the basics of the lock in effect. The moment you start to talk about "Zuck" you have to talk about the fediVerse and activityPub, not mastodon. And of course once you start broadening the angle from twitter to the rest of the wallet gardens you have to talk about google/youtube, spotify, and that's again activityPub, <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=peertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peertube</span></a> or <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=castopod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>castopod</span></a>. So if actually even <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>debian</span></a> is mentioned in this thread it's time to mention <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=yunohost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yunohost</span></a>.<br>Anything else hurts the community, the project fediVerse as a whole.</p><p>The new enemy is bluesky, and locking in users there by doing if the already failed promise can be solved by throwing more money at it is being blind in the a world of the visually impaired, aiding the enemy, the new one. The one that obviously emerged because the fediVerse existed already and has been identified by silicon valley as the real threat.</p>

Jupiter Rowland@<a class="" href="https://toot.wales/users/jaz" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jaz 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿</a> The reason why #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mastodon</a> is getting traction is because Mastodon was already huge in spring 2022 when Musk only so much as threatened to buy Twitter.<br><br>Why was Mastodon so big then already? Well, look at what was around in the late 2010s:<br><ul><li>#<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=GNUsocial" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GNUsocial</a>: obscure to the point of being undead<br></li><li>#<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Diaspora" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Diaspora</a>: 2010's hype was over, few people remembered it, so largely unknown, not to mention lack-lustre, and development was so slow that it took 8 years to drag itself out of public alpha<br></li><li>#<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Friendica" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Friendica</a>: powerful, but nobody knew it existed<br></li><li>#<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Hubzilla" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hubzilla</a>: even more powerful, but absolutely nobody knew it existed</li></ul><br><br>Mastodon had a bunch of advantages from the beginning:<br><ul><li>It didn't limit its publicity machinery to a crowd-funding run. Friendica and Hubzilla had zero advertising and zero publicity.<br></li><li>While Diaspora* was underwhelming as a "Facebook killer," Mastodon had just the right features for being a Twitter alternative, and it was marketed as a Twitter alternative.<br></li><li>It was just what people needed to stay in contact and talk to each other. Friendica was a bit too much for that, Hubzilla was much too much.</li></ul><br><br>Since Diaspora* was all-but forgotten, and nobody had ever heard of GNU social, Friendica and Hubzilla, many believed that Eugen Rochko had invented federated social networking. And before there was ActivityPub, Mastodon was a walled garden which not even Friendica federated with, and Friendica federated with just about everything otherwise.<br><br>It didn't take long for Mastodon to have a new advantage, and that was a huge and constantly growing user base. The more users it had, the more people recommended it to others.<br><br>Came spring 2022. Why did only Mastodon take off, even though stuff like #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Pleroma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pleroma</a> and #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=MissKey" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MissKey</a> had appeared in the meantime? Because Mastodon had thousands upon thousands upon thousands of users for each user of anything that wasn't Mastodon. Each Pleroma or MissKey or Friendica or Hubzilla recommendation on Twitter was completely drowned in an utter deluge of Mastodon recommendations. This still continues. This is why everyone who comes from Twitter "knows" that Mastodon is the #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fediverse</a>.<br><br>You're right with one point: A rising tide floats all boats. Not exactly few of those who learn about, for example, #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Akkoma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Akkoma</a> and how it outclasses Mastodon while requiring fewer server resources actually do the switch. Even Friendica sees an influx of new users who get a taste of it through public groups while still on Mastodon.<br><br>Still, I think it'd be better to let people know right away what there is to find in the Fediverse instead of first implying that the Fediverse is only Mastodon (or, worse yet, that the Fediverse is only mastodon.social). I'm pretty sure there are many who would have been grateful, had they been shown Akkoma or #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CalcKey" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CalcKey</a> or Friendica right away instead of first being channelled to mastodon.social, then finding a better Mastodon instance and switching, then finding something better than Mastodon itself and switching again.<br><br>@<a class="" href="https://venera.social/profile/spreadmastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spread Mastodon</a> @<a class="" href="https://venera.social/profile/fediversenews" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fediverse News</a>
