  1. Reddit runs the servers. People just get a space they can moderate. Here, randos run the servers, and you can run your own and no one can moderate you. Literally nothing like reddit other than it being a social media app lol

  3. If you don't like the many servers in every continent, you can still host your own.

  4.  @steven.events  they are in the fact that they are decentralized, rather than owned by a person or company.

  5. Young people love this, they just end up in the competition cause they have better products.

  6. Did you try a different server?

  7. Users have better options, unless meta invests in graphics. Graphics is basically the only edge the competition has.

  8.  @graymars1097  Exactly. Social vr is quite different from regular games. Similar platforms like vrchat and recroom grow consistently without advertising and without the backing of a massive corporation. Meta just needs to give users a good enough experience that users won't run towards the competition, and that non-users will think "I would try it once just to see what it's really like". If you look for a somewhat polished vrchat video (like "Best Places to see in VRCHAT"), you'll see something much more appealing than meta's "horizon worlds" (god even the name needs improvement...).

  9. Also Musk himself develops AI in his companies.

  10. ​ @robotman011  true, I'd love to have something like thus confortable enough to wear and use as a replacement for my computer and phone.

  11. It'd not a toy, it's a computer. You can do with it the same things you can do with other computers. Other computers are not usually chucked aside after a week cause people don't know what to do with them.

  12. Not sponsored content

  13. What a time to be aliiiive 🤣

  14. Probably didn't intend to release it at this stage. Later would likely integrate into their products as they keep doing with their ai tech. I think it's understandable when these models can get things deeply wrong, which as seen can reflect badly on the company.

  15. Nope. Same as it is not Twitter. Reddit runs the servers. Twitter runs the servers. Users run the servers with Mastodon. Reddit says what is allowed on the platform. Twitter says what's is allowed on the platform. You say what is allowed for you in Mastodon. Reddit can ban you. Twitter can ban you. Mastodon can't ban you.

  16. ​ @JenniferA886  Yeah, announcements from services I'm interested in due to my work. I haven't seen a mass migration yet, but I hope there might be once companies see the landscape becoming more well defined.

  17. With the increase of users, also comes an increase on users willing to host servers.

  18. No, it's not. Chatgpt gets things wrong lots of times too. Just yesterday it was telling me that trees are non-living organisms. I asked it to clarify and it went on to say trees don't grow or reproduce. These tools are already very helpful regardless of not being perfect and they are getting better very fast...

  19. Decentralization is often promoted by people on the right.

  20. Not being censored at all, if you are you probably are spreading misinformation/ vilifying some minority.

  21. People were looking for an alternative, just waiting to jump ship.

  22. Thing is now many people are dissatisfied at the whole thing.
    2
  23. It's supposed to be public. There are basically no private messages there.

  24.  @FutureCommentary1  It's even more similar to Twitter than Reddit. So how does it differ from Twitter? It's decentralized: you determine the moderation policies rather than a company, and you cannot be banned no matter what you say. These matters are closely related to who owns the platform, and that's why it has increased in popularity since Elon took over Twitter.

  25.  @sterlingmarshel6299  tell that to the many thousands of people getting arrested for possession in texas

  26. I do wonder what she is working on. A couple days ago she was interviewed in the field, so she does seem to be working.

  27. You are not bound to servers, you can easily move your data and followers to any server you want.

  28. Those who are already rich don't usually gamble significant amounts on long shots. It's mostly technology savvy people and those who having little are risking their savings in hopes of high gains over an uncertain outcome. Contrary to the rich being the most interested in this, it has been poorer populations that have been more willing to use this currency when their country's currency is too unreliable. And one of its potential use cases is supposed to be providing financial services to the impoverished. In sum there's there's lot more than just money replacements, there's a whole host of services being developed. Also

  29. But it can change and you can't no control over that. Mastodon is open source and you can host your own.

  30. They literally have the biggest social networks, that's hardly being "dead". They did seem to achieve market saturation, and that's the oposite of being dead lol

  31.  @TsarFrancisDrake  Mastodon allows people to join communities based on their own interests. So only people looking for political stuff will find it filling up their stream.

  32. Except reddit is a owned by a single entity. It's the same as saying "sooo twitter". Decentralized Twitter....

  33. Nah, discord is one single company, and its "servers" are simply isolated messaging groups. Reddit is again a single company. You might as well say this is like Twitter, but then you're missing the point that it's a decentralized Twitter... Mastodon is run by any number of randos, and the servers are actual servers (content receivers and emitters) and all communicate with eachother. People have been comparing it with email, which makes for a good analogy.

  36. It's basivally nothing like discord lol

  37. It's the same, these people like many others are just not caught. The issue is when in certain districts the police use minor drug charges to target and harass people and to arrest to investigate and search in circumstances that would otherwise not be permitted.

  38.  @nicolasanelka1907  Oh, that's true. I don't like subtitles word by word. Not sure why they do that.

  39.  @greyghost2492  Much more than just "some" and many other countries around the world also have them. Surprisingly (or maybe not), the USA only makes speech illegal when it calls for violence. International online platforms generally abide by the common rules so as to avoid too much complexity.

  41.  @madhavyu  A crime is mutually exclude with not being a crime. Cryptic is not a crime. It is not a pump and dump.

  42. Reddit runs the servers. Twitter runs the servers. Users run the servers with Mastodon. Reddit says what is allowed on the platform. Twitter says what's is allowed on the platform. You say what is allowed for you in Mastodon. Reddit can ban you. Twitter can ban you. Mastodon can't ban you.

  43. And that's why anyone drinks alcoholic beverages, because they are addicts.

  44. But that's owned by meta, which is a big no-no for many people.

  45. The other guy says he's the first.

  46. It's not just rich people, and it's hardly a secret that people like Steve Jobs did it before they were rich and famous.

  47.  @businessgoat8945  Not saying it doesn't work well, just saying some people are conscientious after FB's data scandals.

  48.  @QuizmasterLaw  These people are generally not addicts.

  49. Many people, it's distributed. You can host a server yourself.
