It’s because of how people people on mastodon freak out over privacy and consent. That’s why he wrote that article as the expectations and views of a large number of users are fundamentally against what actually happens
It would be nice if Steve could Open Source the app and let someone take over or fork it
I agree with one of the other commenters. There’s communities here that allow and are for AI art. I think it’s fine to now allow it here.
I have seen people say the Fedi is fine as it is, he’s not mistaking that. The annotations are misleading and make it seems like he’s just wanting the Fedi to be unsafe
This doesn’t make sense. You don’t have to be on an instance that federates with Threads or any corporation. You as a user can also block domains. You don’t have to leave and can still enjoy the space on your terms
This makes zero sense as the Fediverse uses algorithms. Hell, just go to Mastodon’s explore page. When people make this comment it also shows their believe in the Fediverse is phony. Big Social has incentives to keep people locked in and showing specific posts primarily for ad dollars. The Fediverse has no such incentive, thus them providing an option for users to see more custom content is a good thing. The beauty of the Fediverse is that it can provide optional experiences to all its members that better suits their individual needs.
I honestly think this list was just thrown together. There’s hardly any iOS apps and missing some really good apps
I also made this list as well https://lemmy.ml/post/5198221
It’s really bothersome. Particularly with Mastodon, users want to finger wag those that remain on big social, yet they also don’t want people to do the things that help them survive or express their creativity. It’s conflicting and nonsensical. When decentralisation should be pitched to creatives so they can down their content and take out the middleman which is big social. It is honestly disappointing
Have you checked out PeerTube?
I believe PeerTube has great potential if just shown some love and attention

That’s not true it’s compatible with anything running ActivityPub. It currently has build a Mastodon client as a demo that’s why right now you can use it with Mastodon. They built Mastopod in a week. Part of the pitch it showing devs how relatively simple it is to build apps on top of it. So if someone builds a Pixelfed, Lemmy etc app then you absolutely can use it
