I stopped reading at “fun toy”.

There’s always some shill willing to go “yeah this steals people’s work, mangles it and spews bullshit back at them, all while destroying the environment, to make a few dudes richer. It’s nuanced”. 🙄

Why would you assume that “creators” only means people on video platforms 🤷

Fair point. Especially at the current HW prices, you can starve pretty quickly.

Maybe I should have paraphrased “Whitey’s on the moon” instead. “Data centres on the moon”?

Could be because nobody on your instance is following any omicron.blog users. As I understand federation, there needs to be an existing connection for your instance to look up the other site in searches?

I could be wrong, but new/small instances are often omitted in searches.

I mean, the threat was, but the fediverse reacted and most instances (that I know of) just defederated preemptively.

This blog post seems to point and laugh that “see, we hadn’t needed to put out that fire, it’s fully extinguished now”. Well, yes. Because we put it out.

But there is also the point that Meta users and Fedizens didn’t really have any interest in federating with each other. In that respect, the outcome was fully foreseeable, and Meta’s attempt pure signal value for the corporation.
