  • Well said. Boosted and upvoted… whatever those two things mean. Internet points to you, good sir!

    I’ll edit to add that the main thing you point out that I think most fediverse folks want to avoid is the investment that leads to the IPO bag of cash. When the incentive is profit, I think social media can only ever get worse for the average end user. Keeping these things small and non-corporate is great in theory, but who pays for the servers and other costs when/if it needs to scale?



  • I think helpful bots, like this one, are generally a good thing. However I also think there should be a way for a community, either an instance as a whole or a community/magazine, can register their dislike of particular bots and/or have a setting to block them. Right now, I really want to block the lemmit bot. I don’t need or want my feed gummed up w/ Reddit reposts.
