I like the idea of decentralized social media. Having a single for-profit company moderating all content feels sleazy.

The beauty of the fediverse is that there's independent competition. If you don't like how a certain space is being run, you can choose another or create your own. It's ironically very "free-market capitalistic", in contrast to the political leanings of the user-base. Lol

I'd like to see more people jumping into specific communities for whatever game they're playing at the moment.

I know we have the right demographic here for that.

Yes, they forgot the apostrophe, so the Dad took "Have you seen the dogs bowl?" to mean "Have you seen the dogs go bowling?"

Dad saw this as a teachable moment.

For the same reason that I feel like I'm still right now, while I'm actually spinning and hurtling through space at incredible speed.

I just read the article and will definitely be watching the video when I can. What a wild story.

The pirate voice in my head nearly ran out of breath singing the post title.

There was a story recently about a depressing number of web domains disappearing. Everybody just gravitates to the big corporate sites now, and it makes the internet ecosystem boring and less diverse.

It's the equivalent of Walmarts running every mom & pop store out of town.

 
 
 
 
 
 

But I've been taking steps to avoid it.
