These people are poorly informed, Loops already exists

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

“Exists” yea but not really usable, it’s more raw than Pixelfed

His "job" is to go on stage places and be overconfident. Being informed is not part of that job.

I swear, we're just witnessing the next power-grab by people richer than us.

Anyone who isn't advocating for Mastodon, the federated option, is either a fool or being fooled.

His heart is in the right place but money has twisted his mind so much his heart had to go along with it to survive

Stupid. There are already alternatives. Nobody wants them.

No matter how good you make it, now that tiktok was taken from people any app will just be the tiktok replacement being forced on us instead of a worthwhile social media unto itself.

It's not like twitter which sold its own soul and was subsequently run into the ground. I think any attempt to replace tiktok will just piss people off, especially if they're clearly American corporate enterprises.

Zuckerberg is giggling at you.

No. Fuck you Mark. Corpocrats don’t get it. The community likes this momentum. We like meeting Chinese people. We like the fediverse. Stop trying to charge us for the use of the public square

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 19 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

why are they so hellbound on avoiding the fediverse

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

Rich people = successful therefore they should control everything because its obviously the only way for that thing to be successful because success = revenue. According to rich people that is.

No money in Twitter either

Yeah it's kinda sad, that open source gets so little love in terms of money.

I would hope that the EU may help here, and in very small steps, that is true, but there could be so much more money (which would still be very little to the EU) that would have a significant effect there.

There is, just not a lot and not for a giant central company that controls it.

You can have a private instance, you can have premium accounts on instances, companies can have their own instance.

There is

Compared to what corporate has it's basically no money...
