For "market-based accountability" to work, a minimum condition is that users have to be able to vote with their feet, and take their data and "social graph" (social network of "friends" and "followers") to another platform. It works best, as with email providers and cell phone carriers, if users can move to (or try out) another platform, while still being able to communicate and share with their friends on the old platform. Even the #fediverse only does the second one, not the first. (2/2)
The #fediverse (my fediverse?) seems so serious... I'm super tired, more than halfway drunk and it's all so serious. Politics, devs talking about CPU architectures...

I don't think many folks here in the English speaking side of the fedi know about #Juick (juick.com) but its another part of the #fediverse that is already federating. I just discovered that they are also open source and the code is all available at https://x.juick.com/Juick/ licensed under AGPLv3. #ActivityPub
Discovered the new #Hyperspace#fediverse client last night and damn its really nice. It's also the first PWA on my iPhone that actually feels like a real app and not just opening a browser with no chrome.
My only exposure to #Gab is the people who fled and came to the #Fediverse, so I'm not a fan in any way. They don't seem to get that the sh*t they post is the reason that their server keeps losing its hosting, and that no instance admin with any sense wants their other users left "homeless" when Gab-posters' cause de-hosting.
But seriously, how have they not looked at building their own #P2P network instead of crawling from hoster to hoster and from one type of server software to another? If they are "persecuted" and driven off again and again, the last thing they should be thinking is "we'll fork #Mastodon and try to hide our server in the Fediverse".
♲ @meldrian@social.tchncs.de: Freundin erhielt soeben eine Kaufbestätigung für Socken von ebay. Kosten 5€, gedeckt durch einen 5€ Gutscheincode. Meine Freundin hat seit Jahren nichts mehr auf ebay bestellt. Der gutscheincode kam am 12. mai via E-Mail und wurde heute entweder automatisch oder von jemand fremden für besagte Socken eingelöst. Sie war es definitiv nicht.
Jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen? Ist das dieses "ungefragt Dinge zugeschickt bekommen" von dem man vor kurzen aus Amiland berichtete?
