hadn't been aware that rossman's into dodgy stuff (knew fairly little about him outside of some repair stuff on his channel), but ugh
also clicking through into FUTO's projects and it's all a bit gravitating around a point, "built on polycentric". so I wonder what that means?
Polycentric is an open-source, distributed social network that lets you publish content to multiple servers.
already at "I'm interested" because it's interesting to see what other work happens in this space.
and then very next sentence we get to
If you’re censored on one server, your content remains accessible from other servers
ah. I see. the "opt-out moderation" is also telling - how does it work? who knows! it's got a paragraph under introduction but seems to not be mentioned anywhere else in the docs.
extra frustrating to see because the projects these fucks are taking on (like the open cast thing) are items that sorely need stronger options in the open space. but not like this. never like this.
I lolled at how this post literally included an “[editor’s note: ….]” at one point but the entire damn thing was still exactly his usual textual diarrhoea. 30 paragraphs that could’ve been two simple charts. A++ would absolutely only skim through again.
yep. there’s a couple communities out there that mistake “growth” for “good”, and I get the sense that’s one of the problems fosstodon has. not the only one, mind - other stuff also appears to be impactful. I don’t have enough spoons to make a good thorough analysis of it tho :|
last analysis I saw (which, admittedly, was almost ~2y back now I think) said Apple Music was the best by a pretty wide margin, with the rest falling with lower marks after
probably need to look around for updated data soon
also Bandcamp Friday (which somehow thank fuck has not yet been killed by the Epic acquisition juggle) exists, and is a further boon to artists
I try to stick to bc a lot but it also has downsides - one of the most notable issues for me is that discovery on it isn’t nearly as good as other things, and I really wish they’d work on it some more, even as I know the impacts and drivers that make it hard to do well
the various kinds of corporate culture capture everywhere just results in a pretty fucking frustrating experience in multiple dimensions in the current year :|
(Anyways, unrelated hot take of the day: taking responsibility for something you're not responsible for is a moral failing, and needs to be treated as such)
I killed my sub years ago because of the rogan shit along with disliking what they were forcing the product to become (and clearly indicated all of this in the why-leaving input field) but this makes me wish I could kill it even harder
aah, a good old load-bearing "just" with all the trimmings
love it when a post tells you how much experience someone has in large-scale software and systems management (and thus also how seriously to take their advice)
