  • The problem with the fediverse is that not enough people get how it works, so they don’t use it, so there’s not enough content, so there’s less incentive to use it. The benefits of the fediverse are that you can’t exploit and ruin something for everyone if there’s an alternative readily available for them to use instead, and the fediverse is BUILT on those alternatives.

    The problem with web3 is it does nothing practical enough to justify its existence. The only people who found a use case for it just used it like stock shares, being something worthless that might be valuable if enough time passes. Calling it an alternative to money is absurdly naive at best, manipulative at worst.

    Imagine if you had a boss who told you they would only pay you in company stock, and tried to say that it’s better than being paid money. That’s what this is.



  • “Fs in the chat” -> “Subjects, please join me in mourning”

    “Thanks for the dono” -> “Your tithe is greatly appreciated”

    “We’re going into subs only mode” -> “You may only speak if you are of the proper station”

    Ironically, “we just got raided” can be said in both instances, but means different things.
