In My Opinion Bluesky Will Never Federate And That’s Concerning
What are we doing here folks? We all flocked to Bluesky because it resembled what we used love — Twitter from the 2010s, but with the hope that it would in the end be different. The Bluesky team has promised to federate/decentralize for a while now, with nothing coming of it. Only empty promises (so

Mastodon Is Now A U.S. Non-Profit
I think this is a good thing. Either they are a non-profit in Germany or in the U.S., but their mission stays the same. People like to make a big fucking deal out of nothing. The new board of directors includes Biz Stone, of Twitter-fame. Just because he’s on the board doesn’t mean that the

I Wish I Could Have Said This Was Planned.
I just realized, yes it wasn’t planned, that my main identity on social is now s3th.me. It’s my Mastodon server, my Threads username, and my Bluesky username. I’d like to say I planned it this way. But nope. Just kind of worked out! What social network are you all using now that T2/Pebble is gone

Mastodon Has Been A Great Alternative To Twitter/X
In my opinion, except for going to a WordPress conference (WordCamp US) where everyone was using Twitter/X, Mastodon has been a great alternative.

The Urge To Go To A Small Mastodon Host Again… I Did It
I can’t explain it. I’m going back to hosting my own instance. It’ll be just for me and I’ll have complete control over the whole instance. Managing Masto.ai with Stux was fun and all, but the responsibility became too much as more and more people were complaining about spam and what not. I still wish

The More Corporate, Big Social Media Acts Poorly, The Better The Fediverse Becomes
Reddit is acting poorly and being draconian with their API access for 3rd party developers. YouTube announced that it won’t quash misinformation on its platform anymore. Facebook is… well… just evil. With all of these big social sites acting badly the fediverse and the plethera of alternatives are looking better to the average user. I’m

The Fediverse Is Coming Into Its Own
The demise of Twitter as we know it is upon us. Elon Musk is burning down the Twittersphere while sitting at his desk inside. Is he insane? Absolutely. Does he know what he’s doing? No. Does he give a shit? Nope! People are fleeing to the fediverse, the open network of social platforms that are
