I hate that I was right.
Everything is about 🤑🤑🤑. It always has been.

But the money is a means to an end: having positive, independent social networking software and services.

in reply to Evan Prodromou • • •I just hope there's no major financial influence from the major companies involved like Meta.
I don't want to lose control of my own site because I am not a programmer. I have a bit of control with Mastodon right now. However, there are some gripes everyone has had like lack of moderation features.
I worry a financial influence to change certain things will lessen my control and I'd have to find another software.
My worries always come from a place of passion and concern.
Thanks for your response. I appreciate you.

It's not the same as it was just a few short months ago.
Mastodon has taken over and they refuse to do anything about major issues here.
They're set to make a ton of money from this, all while their 20,000+ instance admins don't even have basic automated reporting or useful moderation tools.
You wanna know why harassment is rampant on Fediverse? Cause moderators have to have eyes on the post themselves to moderate it.
If you don't report it, it doesn't get moderated.🤦♂️
Ugh!😩

If you go down to the bottom, the links they have for them ON social media are... Threads, X, and "Social Web" which one would assume is, like, their instance of whatever it is.
But if you try and click on the Social Web link, it takes you to https://socialwebfoundation.org/@swf which is clearly broken because (at least in Firefox) it shows up as just the raw data

that link https://socialwebfoundation.org/@swf is just @swf
