@blue_berry TBH I think our biggest strength here is decentralization, but every day we're inching closer and closer to centralization here in many ways and most don't care.

Mastodon controls how 73% of users interact with Fediverse. Threads, if it fully federates will completely take that over, but then we have 2 corporate entities in charge here and there's nothing any of us are doing about it.

They will be able to enact change in AP that most other softwares can't and effectively completely change Fedi as we know it.

@fediverse

@tengkuizdihar well, it's not difficult to federate, it's difficult to seperate your identity from BlueSky itself, if you're trying to create something on ATproto.

I doubt you'll see big news about a service using ATproto, the way Fedi platforms do, besides BlueSky because they really don't want you to differentiate that way.🤦‍♂️

@fediverse

@Fitik I'm talking moderation on a level that a user cannot do themselves.

Blocking and muting are not moderation, they're user tools to limit your feed, nothing more.

@AterNox @dch82 doesn't exist for admins. It works on a "user" level. But that won't remove the post or data from the instance, it just "hides" it so the single user can't see.

@fediverse

They said 'full federation by the end of 2024' but who the hell am I kidding, we can't trust a thing they say...🤦‍♂️

We can only wait and see.

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568 from someone on Mastodon, I don't see an issue with it.

The only data they get is public facing data (public profile info and post contents). The only place your IP or email address is stored, is on the server you're logged into or the site you're on.

Though others might have some other reservations, that was my biggest concern.
