@padraig what's their deal? Are they just sitting on these dead brands in favor of future nostalgia run?

Raw numbers are perhaps not enough to get across just how bad the centralisation of the Fediverse by mastodon.social is. I've done a chart to show this visually, hopefully this will make the situation clearer?Given the circumstances, getting people to join other servers except mastodon.social would greatly help decentralise the Fediverse. It's no longer big vs medium vs small, it's more like supergiant deathstar mastodon.social vs everyone else 😞 #Mastodon #Fediverse #MastodonSocial

@BlumeEvolution Die #Blasenbildung in einem sozialen Medium hängt vermutlich an bestimmten Eigenschaften von uns Menschen als soziale Wesen.Wir ziehen es vor, mit Gleichgesinnten im Gespräch zu sein, das gibt mehr Resonanz, mehr #Ansehen.Im #Fediverse fehlen Algorithmen, die Empörung (als Emotion) triggern, um so interessant zu bleiben. Daher werden Blasen im Fediverse gleichförmiger sein - und Akteure die gern aufmischen finden durch die Möglichkeit sie stumm zu schalten keine Plattform.

I just backed the #crowdfunding campaign for @bonfire!https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/communityIt's surprising that there are currently less than 90 backersI'm really looking forward to their #OpenScience flavor and hope that it will find wide adoption and will make it easier to share papers and scientific discussions across the #Fediverse.But also their communities idea sounds great. I would hope that it could replace these godforsaken Facebook groups. Yes, I am looking at you, local #TTRPG group!#AcademicChatter

Boosting other people's toots is important because it's an excellent way to make them aware of typos without actually telling them.#Fediverse #netiquette #fediquette #Mastodon

1/2 Had a nice #SOSSBC #SocialBC AGM last night! We welcomed @trishalynn as our new Vice President on the Board. She brings a wealth of experience that will help us immensely. Thank you so much Trisha Lynn!!We also heard from @jrenken as things progress for our BC hosted (and kindly donated!) server space. He's working hard on documentation and ensuring it will be robust and ready to roll as we leave our @mastohost shared space in the next couple months.#Fediverse #BC #Mastodon #Society

I used to listen to #Podcasts on #Spotify until I had to cancel and uninstall for ethical reasons. Now - #CastoPod is becoming my best friend - Federated #Podcast hosting through #mastodon accounts?
