Why I don't use the Fediverse — 1. The technology sucks. Activity Pub is half baked, and was rolled out prematurely to create Mastadon. 2. Mastadon is a Twitter clone and Lemmy is a Reddit clone. I hate the originals. Why would the clones be better? 3. Mastadon doesn't work *at all* without Javascript. Lemmy barely works without it. *Puke!* 4. The people there are not nicer than Twitter or Reddit. Their mobs just have different political motivations. Never forget how Wil Wheaton fled Mastadon...

is the fedi instance identified by some cryptographic key pair? what if one replaces fedi software on the same domain? let's say i find a way to figure out and migrate the database of socialhome i host to tootik or gotosocial. or i just replace socialhome with gotosocial on the same domain. does each fedi instance also have some keypair that also has to be migrated, so that new instance on the same domain would be accepted by other fedi instances that already established connection with...

Fedi update and thoughts: sloth.run now runs on Firefish 1.0.4 . Everything's fine and dandy. I'll probably put a stop to free registration soon, though. I can't handle too much moderation/admin and I don't want people to get the feeling that I'm not there for them. Somehow I am now an admin or moderator in 3 different fedi communities. I'm curious about the lesser known fedi software like Hubzilla, Takahe, Ocelot. By my counting I have 8 different Fediverse accounts. The fediverse is...
