When you’re screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore that means they’ve given up on you…you may not want to hear it but your critics are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you and want to make you better.
There’s clearly a value and a route toward companies hosting their own federated comms. It’s like how email became self-hosted in the '90s: first the bitnets and aols, and unis and orgs, and finally, thanks to Outlook tasting email on the way in, email viruses.
The same progression will probably repeat for Lemmy and mastodon. Consolidation and self-archiving and all that are valuable, and once HPe finds out how to link ChatGPT to a Lemmy or mastodon, they’ll be all in with something suiting their current quality trend.
Ideally we’ll have gone crypto by then for private messaging, and go farther for privacy than email and fbchat seems to be able, and that’ll be nice.
What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too...
why does open source companies like canonical and opensuse don't host their own fediverse instances?

Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat?
