Replied to Fediverse Account Portability And Blocking by @edent@edent (shkspr.mobi)

One of the many great things about the Fediverse (Mastodon, PixelFed, Lemmy, etc) is that your account is portable.
Let’s say you’re bob@social.boring and, one day, you decide to move your account to foxyfun@furryextreme.yif. Well, with a few clicks of a button, all of your old followers are now fol…

I entirely agree with your post, and feel like this is a pretty big problem with most of the Fediverse (with maybe the exception of Mastodon): it was not built with moderation in mind and now that it’s taking off, admins & users are unprepared for many possible types of abuse. One of the many…

threads by meta

Liked First thoughts about Threads by Ben WerdmullerBen Werdmuller (werd.io)

Meta’s new social network is interesting: an obvious strategic shot at Twitter just as that network is running into trouble, as well as a way to iterate on its aging Facebook property.

The goal is always a human experience for people who do not and should not care how the sausage gets made.

Liking this and putting here with no comment, but a personal blog post on that topic may follow, tomorrow or in 3 years.
