I would drop the "no censorship" "free from manipulation" and "true freedom of speech" none of those are technically true and the later is associated with extremist rhetoric.
Yeah a lot of Luigi sentiment was toasted directly by admins, so, you know
Specifically in .world, which is the instance they are advertising.
idk why they picked world over lemmee or shitjustworks, both of those seem like better picks
My man
Tbh i am not a fan of any of those points:
Free from Manipulation: Malicious actors can still make dummy accounts to influcence scores and there is also nothing inherent in the system that truly prevents manipulative content
No Censorship. No tracking: Censorship can still happen on a instance basis through bans or defederation, althought those are also necessary tools for other reasons. And no tracking imo also is missleading, simply because everything posted here is public (including up/downvotes), there simply isn't true privacy in a public forum. It's better in that it doesn't follow you around to other websites and such, but still putting it so difinitive is wrong.
True freedom of speech: Kind of overlaps with the "no censorship" part i think.
What the fediverse is to me is:
Diversity and freedom of choice
Resilience against central control
This graphic is where I found out about lemmy and brought me here!
Welcome, welcome! Great job, escaping corporate pushes. Great job.
Welcome and see you around.
Should be "no known corporate" tracking or something along those lines.
By interacting with social media, you are creating a trail, such as I do now.
But in the fediverse, no known entity is granted access to that data as a business model or known force.
it would be really nice if Lemmy.world closed their registrations and ability to create new communities so other instances could catch up...
Their failure to do so is inherently their statement to the decentralised nature of the fediverse, that being „Fuck you people, we are the next reddit, and y'all are just trash”.
that would just confuse ppl trying to sign up, theyd think the whole forum is closed
link to https://join-lemmy.org/ instead of https://lemmy.world/
Love the style. Makes me think that we should start a repository with original files that people can download and iterate on + share with their communities. Do you know if something like that exists / would you be interested in creating and promoting a repository together?
I made a graphic of my own quickly last night but I definitely don't have your talent for graphic design lol
OP, I know it's not your graphic, but there's a typo towards the top ("redifine" should be "redefine") if you want to pass it along
I agree with those statements if you're just a consumer. However, if you're some sort of content creator, the story is slightly different: your audience might be still solely on the platforms you're trying to avoid.
Example: I'm a hobbyist photographer; I have like maybe 1000 people following me in total across Facebook and Instagram. I signed up for Pixelfed a few days ago; haven't explored much yet, but I'd be surprised if I see even one person I know there. Even if I start posting on Pixelfed exclusively, my photos will probably still end up on Facebook and Instagram, possibly with zero credit. Maybe if I start posting to Pixelfed in parallel and slowly move away from Meta, I don't know...
More problematically, nobody was getting paid to Reddit, But Instagram, YouTube and TikTok are some peoples income, and they really don't have any strong inclination to leave paying platforms. A lot of the truly wild viral content is coming from people trying to make a living out of it.
We are going to have true social interactions on the fediverse. But without algorithmic discovery and paid performers, a lot of people aren't going to come over. And honestly, I'm just fine with that.
I do wish we could get a solid foot in the Facebook door. There's an awful lot of semi-private data there that people aren't getting paid to post that could be free of big media pincers and wallets.
The other side of this is that click through rates on legacy social has cratered. Almost certainly due to bot driven inflated engagement metrics.
For creators, the best choice is probably to post parallel, distributing your content on as many platforms as feasible. That way, you reach even people who only have one of those, and also lower the migration barrier for consumers.
I was talking to a friend who posts on IG, and has gotten a Pixelfed acct in the past week. They were saying, as we hiked in the wilderness under cloudy skies, less than ideal conditions, that I was the only person they knew on Pixelfed. A few hours later they txt’d me the handle of another friend of theirs, who is on Pixelfed. 100% increase in a few hours. Don’t be afraid of Pixelfed. Jump in with both feet! Be afraid of your Meta incarceration. Join us! We’ll have a great time! @ForestOrca@social.photo
Not sure if LW is the best choice as for some people it's very slow: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/36299751
Works great for me!
Europe or America?
lemmy.world
And post banned on that subreddit for mentioning a r*ddit alternative in 3... 2... 1...
This graphic is simple and great. This is what most people are going to want to know.
I'm all in for fediverse.
So next up We need to improve PeerTube (Or Odysee)
Alas, people are flocking to that garbage corporate owned bluesky instead of using mastodon :(
Honestly, BlueSky is a lot better than the mainstream social sites. I'm certainly not mad about it. Not to mention
X -> BlueSky -> Mastodon
is a lot easier for some than
X -> Mastodon
!fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com
This is a place to share resources and coordinate projects to assist in the migration away from legacy social media.
