mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06

Not a big user of social networks, but it seems that when I do take part in discussions, I seem to like to advocate for social networks to be open, decentralized and interoperable.

Did you also notice the pattern?

If something goes wrong using an #AI, people always blame the user:
Your prompt was bad. You didn't use AI to optimize the prompt. Flawed CLAUDE.md. Insufficient context window. Wrong #LLM temperature. Inadequate training data. Just change a single comma as described in my Medium article no 4632 to be as successful as me.

Nobody says: Hey, #ML and LLMs are not classical computers anymore. They are inherently not reliable. And this is really NOT your fault.

@seth@s3th.me @feditips@mstdn.social It's not pain, it is user friendliness.🙂

@AmyZenunim@unstable.system This makes no sense. #threads does not need #mastodon users, because it already has far more users via #instragram. And as Eugen pointed out correctly, if #threads cuts off #activitypub some day, then everything will be again as it is now. If you are afraid of #threads being too successful, then the solution is not to block and wall off (this makes the problem only worse), but to make #mastodon better.

@bbak@mastodon.social @Chimaera@mastodon.world @Gargron@mastodon.social I'm on #mastodon and see it as a win. I don't know if #meta will see it as a win.

@MrLee@aus.social This may indeed happen, maybe not. Let's see.

@msh@coales.co @seth@s3th.me @feditips@mstdn.social "Having a dominant mobile app with a default to sign up on the dominant server only simplifies the onboarding process, primarily leveraging people being accustomed to the old centralised model." That's exactly the idea.😉 "Beyond that it diminishes and even could harm the experience, because in many ways dot-social is among the most user-hostile servers in the fediverse ... " Well, every user who agrees with your assessment can very easily choose a different server.🙂

@CrazyMyra@mastodon.social @feditips@mstdn.social You can migrate to another server anytime you want.

@dreamer72@mastodon.social I agree that #meta has many ugly sides, but I also think that 99% if people using or working on #Facebook, #instagram or #threads are decent people not having done anything you are describing.

@michaelgemar@mstdn.ca @Gargron@mastodon.social A growing open social network community is excellent, also (especially) without investors and advertisers.

@knottedthreads@mstdn.social @m0xee@social.librem.one @Homebrewandhacking@mastodon.ie @seth@s3th.me @feditips@mstdn.social Yes, this possibility is a design flaw in the current protocols. But this is not the fault of the users. They should not be punished for that by a bad user experience. It's the job of all developers to fix that.
