Will an app or a protocol be the next big thing?

    That said, the “next Twitter” might not be decided by its app but by its protocol. Mastodon, for example, is built on top of ActivityPub, a W3C-recommended protocol for decentralized social networking, a protocol with support from Tumblr, Flipboard, and maybe even Instagram’s Twitter competitor Threads

    This is already very out of date.

    Mozilla will shut down its Mastodon server on December 17th.The company is ending its Mozilla.social Fediverse experiment in content moderation and will remove all content and accounts — but you still have time to move elsewhere

    That was quick.

    I don’t want more monolithic platforms. It puts too much power in the hands of people who shouldn’t be given a shred of influence.

    Small internet v2, please.

    Bluesky is there. We just need all of the “stars” to start the exodus. Twitter will fall apart fast.

        @blindbunny@lemmy.ml At least there’s Bridgy Fed, a bridge between BlueSku and Fedi something that is not possible to do in Twitter

        Fun fact: BlueSky started to being developed as part of Twitter(Before Elon bought it and fired most stuff including the ones working on it)
