Absolutely I was not trying to take away from your point! Cory Doctorow actually recently wrote a good piece on Wikipedia that you reminded me of.

I agree with your overall point, but Wikipedia has a singular mission. Social settings can have wildy different missions from shitposting, to hobbies, study groups, to support groups, etc. There is no singular moderation ethos that can apply to all of them, that's why decentralization is important in social media.

We want to algorithms to work for the people, not have people slaving for the algorithms.

Nothing big is wrong with them, the drama got blown way out of proportion to a frankly insane degree.

My rule of thumb is to delete any service with "inserted content" I'm unable to block

Bazzite is based on Fedora no? This could be very cool

Nope just ghost.org. They're a Substack competitor but have been embracing activitypub/the open web. It's nice to see.

Actually there is an episode of VOY that proves they did evolve a special brian region that enables them to learn how to supress emotions

Good read. We're seeing a return to "social" networks. The big platforms haven't been social for years.

So does Reddit but you presumably see some value in federated platforms yea?

I'm always shocked by the number of of BlueSky fans that show up on Lemmy. If they don't care about centralization why are they here and not on Reddit?
