Ruszyła kolejna fala migracji z X/Twittera, więc dziś w #OkoPress przyglądam się alternatywom:

Co ciekawe, wszystkie – Fediverse, Bluesky, Threads – przynajmniej w jakimś stopniu twierdzą, że są zdecentralizowane. Mówię więc "sprawdzam", razem z @cwebber , @blaine i @ben .
Nie będzie dla nikogo zaskoczeniem, że #Bluesky i Threads mocno naciągają to "zdecentralizowanie." Ale sam fakt, że wszystkie realne alternatywy dla Twittera promują się decentralizacją jest znaczący!
@mkljczk @rysiek @cwebber @ben that's not unreasonable, but I would ask how is it different to receive a follow request (or follower) from one of Threads' 200 million users different from one of the fediverse's max. 10 million? Especially given Meta's horrendous record of moderation and consistent contempt of their users?
I'm convinced it's Meta's intentional (or, charitably) incompetent attempt to drive regressive regulation rather than an earnest attempt to "protect" their users.
@blaine @mkljczk it's also pretty striking – and I should have put that in the article, but alas! – that the company that on every step and in pretty much every other case shoves changes down users' throats via opt-out, even (or especially) if these are unwanted or dangerous changes, now , in this one case, suddenly found their opt-in muscle.
@mkljczk @blaine @rysiek I’d say all of you are right, it’s often the case that companies do “the right thing” very selectively, only when it also furthers their financial goals. A particular example I’m thinking of is usually when Google makes a change “for user security”, but coincidentally these always make life better for advertisers (even if they also have real security benefits). @cwebber @ben
