Size and commercialisation generally go hand in hand. After all, how do you keep something running with infinite users submitting infinite content for free?
This is a big issue for everyone, it’s important that the fediverse understands that size might some day increase the importance of sensible business models or proactive funding initiatives to counter the growth. This doesn’t mean harmful profit models necessarily, but it does mean keeping revenues under control for individually run nodes or for archiving services for old fediverse domains that might not exist forever.

There were various slides about sexual response cycles and now we're watching a video of a talk about taking the shame and stigma out of sex
This 1997 Russian pirate CD with over 150 DOS games was essential to me. It quite literally provided me with years of entertainment. There's little practical value in preserving it as all these games have been archived 100 times over, but I wanted to share it for sentimental reasons:

I don't think that I can handle this much truth at once...

the RAMPANT sexism and racism as thinly veiled intellectualism that has gone on for DECADES
This what I came to associate with reddit.
This kind of very super shallow toxic intellectualism that consisted mostly of call-and-responses opinions play-acted in weird rituals really wore on me. Even the more organic conversations were more like people just slapping opinions at eachother.
Not that we’re immune to ANY of this. Our smaller scale and decentralisation sidesteps the issue a bit, though. For now anyway.

I don’t believe it was the size either despite what many in the comments state. I believe it’s been several compounding factors. For me it’s karma and karma farming. People only do things for attention when they have reason to believe it will provide benefits for them. People do what they are allowed to do. When you go to an establishment where the cultures and rules are set people are unlikely to deviate. I couldn’t reasonably get upset at an establishment that requires certain attire, no loud voices, limited alcoholic beverages and believe I can and should do the opposite. If more subreddits operated like such then Reddit would be very different. Unfortunately, that doesn’t align with Reddits goals of content and users pretty much at any cost to make the money go up.

Workers in Spain are marching through stormy weather in the country’s first general strike in 14 years, as a cost of living and housing crisis has fueled discontent and prompted a snap election to take place at the end of the month. Read more from @dwenglish
@NewsDesk @dwenglish I'm very curious as to the cause of the housing crisis in Spain-- is it from not enough housing, or from private equity owning many units for speculation and keeping them vacant? I haven't seen any reports get into this, but the solutions for the two causes are very different, and the solution for either won't work for the other. (Possibly it's both.)

They don’t need to know the details, no, but the new user experience – especially on Mastodon-based websites – can be very confusing without at least a basic understanding of the syndication-based nature of the place. Lemmy and Piefed aren’t quite so bad about it, you can see the Local or All feed by default when going to your website of choice, but also because users coming from Reddit have been used to having an empty main feed if they haven’t subscribed to anything yet, while Twitter has been providing an algorithmic feed of “for you” content for a while now.
And because the Mastodon developers seem to very badly want to obfuscticate the nature of the network, and want “Mastodon” itself to be the title character, and not any particular masto-based website, the default that users get is their subscription feed, and not the Local feed.
People think Mastodon is dead, because it doesn’t work the way they expect.
This was especially bad during the Twitter exmigration, because people just joined whatever random Mastodon-based website they came across, and were trying to find each other again, and didn’t understand how searching for users on other websites worked. They seemed to think it was dumb that their website wasn’t aware of users on a completely different website, where the only thing they had in common was that they were running the same website engine.
People coming from highly curated environments need to know at least a little bit about how the whole system works in order to embrace the system. Otherwise, they interpret the limitations are arbitrary.
Yeah I’m not a huge fan of Mastodon throwing its weight around. Like I was setting up a snac2 server and I had to add so many extra endpoints to interface with Mastodon instances.
Mostly breakdowns of sexual response cycles so far
@shauna fascinating! Yeah, it would be hard not to look…

Just got doorknocked by a recruiting volunteer from nearby New Life Fellowship church. I told him that we're Taoists, not interested in any churches, have bad church traumas, gave him back his leaflet & said we don't have anything against you, personally, but we don't want anyone else from your church, knocking on our doors again. Thank you. Have a good day.
The murder of Yancy Noll by Dinh Bowman was HUGE news in north seattle for a while and ultimately was solved by first hand-witnesses and people who knew the killer and turned him in anonymously.
Some of the realtime tips that led to Bowman are actually still online on the neighborhood blog.
Despite the cops and city trying to get the red light footage the state law held and it was not used and the law has not been changed to my knowledge.

Seattle and the state withstood a raft of conservative criticism for taking a principled stand on mass surveillance.
Yet some how in 2026 in the year of Flock and even conservatives flipping positions on privacy the local neo-liberals decided now is the time to abandon principles in exchange for a misguided promise of safety.
