@evan@cosocial.ca 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.

@tom@tomkahe.com maybe. However, I never hear that about AP. Only mastodon specifically and that's because mastodon not complying with most of AP standard...😳

@hallenbeck@mastodon.social because we're back on a Meta controlled platform now and we didn't ask for that.

They now have a reason to be influenced by outside sources.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live and here I thought you weren't posting because traversing the highways of the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft history, 2b2t, took a lot of attention :pedro:

@BeAware@social.beaware.live You wanna know the dumbest part about it?

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

@TransitBiker@urbanists.social I'm still digging my heels into it right now. From the surface it seems very suspicious and financially motivated centralization of a decentralized platform, which is not good.

However, there may be some underlying bright side.

I'll have to get back to you with my full thoughts once I wrap my head around it all.

@TransitBiker@urbanists.social so, it's very vague, but it's basically a foundation that's supposed to be the official "decision makers" on AP, the protocol that runs the Fediverse.

The worrying thing, is that their board of advisors are big companies like Meta and Automattic, who both have massive financial incentives to change things for their benefit.
