All of this should be a wake up call for as a community

I’m not super optimistic to be honest, which is why I’ve basically deserted the platform and I’m spending my time on these days

The silver lining of today’s events in Brazil is that even if Mastodon is left out of the equation, another open platform is benefiting from this mess

4/4

@o_simardcasanova yup and the sad thing is that bsky is centralised and thus subject to similar centralisation risks as twitter was. It’s a pity mastodon has not been as welcoming

@kcarruthers @o_simardcasanova I share the same concern - to me right now the saving grace for using Mastodon is relying on @elk as web client.

I'm surprised about Bluesky tho; I've been on it since the very beginning but I find it somewhat dead, and only the same like 10 people are tweeting like crazy over there. Threads is having much more variety and I see a lot of non-tech-people migrating to that.

@kelset out of curiosity, have you tried the built il webui lately? What do you find better in Elk?

@renchap I dip into it from time to time, what I like about elk is the UI and overall structure (where the various elements are) and colors.
