You are correct. The term is called "openwashing". Now and then bluesky ~~employees~~ cultists will come on Lemmy and mastodon and try to LARP that their for-profit company has our best interests in mind.

"[deleted]" means a user removed it. It's probably users who nuked their accounts (I'm one of them!)

It comes from this 2019 post by Mike Masnick.

Unfortunately the atprotocol is more like Profits > People > Platforms

Absolutely I was not trying to take away from your point! Cory Doctorow actually recently wrote a good piece on Wikipedia that you reminded me of.

I agree with your overall point, but Wikipedia has a singular mission. Social settings can have wildy different missions from shitposting, to hobbies, study groups, to support groups, etc. There is no singular moderation ethos that can apply to all of them, that's why decentralization is important in social media.

We want to algorithms to work for the people, not have people slaving for the algorithms.

My rule of thumb is to delete any service with "inserted content" I'm unable to block

Bazzite is based on Fedora no? This could be very cool

That's funny and makes me with I didn't delete my reddit account

Actually there is an episode of VOY that proves they did evolve a special brian region that enables them to learn how to supress emotions

Good read. We're seeing a return to "social" networks. The big platforms haven't been social for years.

So does Reddit but you presumably see some value in federated platforms yea?

I'm always shocked by the number of of BlueSky fans that show up on Lemmy. If they don't care about centralization why are they here and not on Reddit?
