@Tock@corteximplant.com @kevinrns@mstdn.social @javi@goblin.band Indeed, the effort might fail, but it's worth the shot. Since there are several forks already, we should just make sure that what we end up rallying for has a good governance model (that won't let it be easily hijacked like Mozilla). If the fork overtakes the original in marketshare, then there's a hope that the funding that Mozilla gets from Google would instead go to Waterfox (or Librewolf, or whatever...), which would make its development more sustainable.

@paulbiggar @benjamineskola it seems that the FAQ had been updated since the last time I checked

https://upscrolled.com/en/faq/

things open and simple with lightweight, common-sense protections—spam/bot filtering, straightforward reporting, and consistent deletes when people remove their own content. We’re building interoperable by design (clean exports, stable APIs) and will add optional bridges to open protocols as they mature, so you can reach more people without sacrificing speed or simplicity.

I'm less than ecstatic about putting more eggs in a private, western, non-federated basket...

But I joined nonetheless: https://share.upscrolled.com/en/user/b8fdfc6a-b7cc-4067-83bc-30d8d454c9b5/

Perfect is the enemy of good, and if Upscrolled can decrease the reliance that mainstream folks have on imperialist social media, that's still a win. Also, in their FAQ they explicitly mention the possibility of federating with open standards, and of moving away from hosting (and HQ) based in the west, so that would take care of 2/3 of my concerns.
