Very clear and nice video!

With that said, I was a bit disappointed when I joined the Fediverse about the interaction between social medias. I usually used reddit and very little twitter and I was excited when I saw the Fediverse and that you could even follow from other Social media but from lemmy you cannot follow people from mastodon and from mastodon you can technically follow communities but you see all replies and the feed becomes overwhelming while in Lemmy I choose if I open the comment section for a specific entry.

So I ended up with the same number of accounts on the fediverse than in centralized platforms which is fine but I think Fediverse sells this too much. For me decentralization is a good enough point to stay.

And about the AI thingy and the feeds, I think we are just seeing the early Fediverse same as early internet but I'm sure in the future we will have apps that create a feed for you if you want to so to me that's something that we also shouldn't sell as a positive OR negative. I think this is something that will simply change as the Fediverse grows.

But this is not a criticism of the video! Just my personal thoughts :)

A language is not a topic that's why it makes sense and rules on servers that are on your language (and probably your own country) probably will have rules more aligned with your vision too. It makes sense on a moderation point of view.

A server that is about technology or art, doesn't say anything about how they might allow their users to behave. I just think it's misleading and the focus of a server shouldn't be about things you like but the way you like to be treated and how they manage your data which is at the end what they handle.

I think it's a bad idea to have each server have one topic which I know is often how Fediverse is sold but I think it's not good.

I don't know you but I have more than one interest and I don't want a server to be about one interest and that's it. I want the server to be fair and have rules about discrimination and so on. I can choose the topics I want to follow thanks to federation that's the whole point, the server should focus on the moderation side.

You can also follow a community from mstodon but it shows all the replies from all posts and it's very messy.

They are waiting a bit more to see if some fix arrives or not:

we're currently planning for late January/early February to update Lemmy.World to a newer Lemmy release.

A bit more detail:

We'll keep an eye on any updates on that topic to see if it might be worth waiting a little longer for another fix or possibly deploying an additional patch even if it may not be part of an official Lemmy release yet at the time.

The blog states it's still missing a lot of stuff and it's a work in progress. If they have to implement every type of fediverse post like peertube, Pixelfed. Loops, etc it's gonna take some effort.

I assume that's the goal after reading the post but of course we will see.

Why are you specifically collecting negative reviews?

There's people who want to follow other people because you can follow specific associations, independent journalists, etc. If you are like that Mastodon will help with that but if you prefer broader topics no matter the source you have Lemmy. This are two distinct social media which belong to two distinct groups as other mentioned like microblogging and a more standard forum.

I prefer Lemmy because I like to follow topics and I get more involved in the discussions but sometimes I want to check on someone and the best way is to go to a Mastodon like platform.

I mean you don't need to use each social media every day, some will fit more your personality and you will use that more but that doesn't mean you can't open the other one from time to time.

I read the article but I'm worried about the implementation which you won't be able to choose and while you can change server realistically not many people will even know this happened.

I hope the focus is privacy and people and this change dowsn't have people in mind.

I thought the fediverse was a way to give back the power to the users. This doesn't seem great. I don't want mastodon to be famous because it's useful to companies but because it's useful to people.

I don't know the details but hopefully they do something similar to firefox https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/03/22/firefox-87-trims-http-referrers-by-default-to-protect-user-privacy/

I think this happens because everyone does this in youtube and by habit people do it on other platforms.

But at the same time, clickbait works and that's the problem basically. If a clickbait tittle gives you more views and you want to be relevant doing clickbait tittles will help to get to that goal.

Hopefully with time and less algorithms promoting this behavior we will have less clickbait stuff but I don't think it will never disappear, specially when there's a big industry behind.
