If you're looking for functionality, then #Friendica comes the closest to the base functionality that #MySpace and Faceplant capitalized upon.

I think that perhaps @hamishcampbell days it best with respect to the #addiction factor - #Dopamine is a powerful thing - just look at the having industry and the... Well, just consider that.

#Diaspora is not an #ActivityPub based system as of this juncture in time, and regarding the differences between how a post looks between say, Friendica and #Pleroma, or even Pleroma and other #Mastodon-esque platforms like #Misskey, etc., There are differences between all of them related to the features that one supports, and another doesn't.

This is a positive, market based incentivization for innovation.

Things will continue to evolve as long as there is interest in a platform and new ones come along all the time - there's no reason, for example, why #Planetary can't support its native #SSB while at the same time offering optional #Matrix protocol and ActivityPub integration, affording its users with a measure of interoperability within those spaces.

Looking back over just the last six months is quite encouraging when you consider the interplatform interactivity that users can take advantage of between projects like #PeerTube, #Pixelfed, #Funkwhale, #Lemmy, and the so-called microblogging platforms in the #Fediverse like Misskey, Mastodon, and Pleroma; while Friendica often serves as a bridge to those using Diaspora protocol and even the largely defacto deprecated #OStatus.

I think the time to begin migrating from the monolithic silos is **yesterday**, and continuing into **tomorrow**.

If all that someone wants is to communicate with their highschool buddies and neighbors, perhaps the best choice is indeed #Faceplant?

The Fediverse implies many different emerging and continuously maturing platforms that speak an assortment of federating protocols - not just ActivityPub, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, and with development being community informed and inspired.

Anything that resists that last very important point (community driven), simply gets forked, and that to happens all the time - success is based on merit.

What were really taking about here isn't which platforms are ready at this moment for the non-apathetic, concerned userbase to begin their egress from the monolithic silos, but rather, how we can facilitate the ingress of onboarders in becoming comfortable using rapidly evolving platforms that obviate #Faceplant, and #Reddit, and #YouTube, and #Twatter, and #InstaSPAM, and #Whassup, and #Pinterest, and... ad nauseum.

I hope that helps! 😀

Se acabó todo, podéis volver a dormir tranquilos: el partido de la #paz, la #tolerancia y la #reconciliación ha vuelto al #poder. #Hombres. Y las #mujeres.
Dicen que quieren #sanar y #unificar la nación.
Pero está claro que la única manera de hacerlo es crear listas de enemigos y #silenciar a cualquiera con #opiniones discrepantes.
Por ejemplo, la representante Alexandria #Ocasio-Cortez preguntó,

"¿Alguien está archivando a estos aduladores de #Trump para cuando intenten minimizar o negar su #complicidad en el futuro?".

Robert #Reich, secretario de Trabajo con #Clinton, y asesor de #Obama, tuiteó,

"Cuando esta pesadilla termine, necesitamos una #Comisión de la #Verdad y la #Reconciliación [para] nombrar a cada funcionario, #político, #ejecutivo y magnate de los medios de comunicación cuya avaricia y cobardía permitió esta catástrofe".

Chris #Hayes, un presentador de la #MSNBC estuvo de acuerdo diciendo,

"La forma más #humana y #razonable de tratar con toda esta gente, si sobrevivimos a esto, es algún tipo de comisión de la verdad y la reconciliación".

Y Dick #Costolo, el ex #CEO de #Twitter, dijo,

"Los capitalistas "yo primero"... van a ser los primeros en ser alineados contra la pared y fusilados en la #revolución. Estaré encantado de hacer comentarios en vídeo".

Está claro que las empresas de medios sociales como Twitter son una parte importante de los esfuerzos para unificar la nación.

Twitter eliminó 70.000 cuentas utilizando la invasión del #Capitolio como excusa.

#Amazon Web Services eliminó el sitio de medios sociales alternativos #Parler de sus servidores, mientras que #Apple y #Google eliminaron Parler de sus tiendas de aplicaciones.

#Facebook y #Reddit se sumaron a la purga, eliminando febrilmente los contenidos que no quieren que vean sus usuarios.

#Stripe, #PayPal y #Visa anunciaron que dejarían de procesar los pagos a ciertos políticos y organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro

culpables de #delitos de #pensamiento.
Ayer leí en los medios completamente justos y objetivos que el simple hecho de reconocer esta purga tecnológica lo convierte a uno en un #teórico de la #conspiración.

Las noticias de #Axios escribieron un segmento titulado, La nueva conspiración de la derecha: "El silenciamiento".

Continuaron diciendo que sólo los teóricos de la conspiración locos creen que hay esfuerzos para #silenciar las voces #conservadoras.

En otras palabras, si crees lo que puedes ver con tus propios ojos, eres un teórico de la conspiración.
Más recientemente, por ejemplo, #Harvard ha purgado a la #congresista Elise #Stefanik de su consejo asesor.

¿El crimen de Stefanik? Ella cuestionó públicamente las #irregularidades en la #elección de 2020.

Ahora, algunas personas pueden pensar que ella es una persona terrible debido a sus creencias. Y para ser justos, Harvard está en su derecho de elegir a quien quiera para su junta directiva.

Pero ahora hay una petición de la #mob de Harvard para #revocar su título, borrando efectivamente su existencia de la institución.

Quieren #cancelarla. Sin embargo, incluso el mero reconocimiento de que esto está sucediendo ahora te convierte en un teórico de la conspiración según los medios de comunicación.

Los gritos de la izquierda de "#desfinanciar a la policía" se han convertido en "financiar a la #policía secreta", ya que los legisladores vuelven a presentar proyectos de ley de "terrorismo doméstico" para crear nuevas unidades bajo el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional para vigilar el "#extremismo" estadounidense.

Pero los hashtags #assassinatetrump y #killtrump que Twitter ha permitido desde 2016... ¡es una libertad de expresión totalmente correcta!

Durante los disturbios del verano de #BLM, el #asalto a las tiendas #Target y la quema de comisarías fueron actos de #valor.

Incluso declararon literalmente una #zona #autónoma independiente y tomaron edificios gubernamentales. Sin embargo, nadie en los medios de comunicación utilizó nunca las palabras #insurrección, #sedición o #razón.

El #AOC alabó estas protestas, en su mayoría pacíficas, y dijo que el objetivo de las mismas es "hacer que la gente se sienta incómoda".

Pero si te sientes mínimamente incómodo por el hecho de que 25.000 soldados estén en la capital del país, junto con tanques y helicópteros de ataque, entonces eres un (¡lo has adivinado!) teórico de la conspiración.

Recuerda, sin embargo, que la #ignorancia es #fuerza, así que probablemente deberíamos #obedecer a los expertos.

Confiar en la Seguridad Social para la jubilación. Confiar en la Reserva Federal para mejorar la economía. Confiar en que los medios de comunicación digan la verdad. Confiar en que las empresas tecnológicas seguirán permitiendo su libertad de expresión.

O... como alternativa... haz tu propio Plan B.

sharing to ask all the #lefties what they actually meant by "unity":

---

It’s over everyone, you can sleep easy again - the party of #peace, #tolerance, and #reconciliation is back in #power. #Amen. And #Awomen.
They claim they want to #heal and #unify the nation.
But clearly the only way to do so is to create enemies lists and #silence anyone with #dissenting #opinions.
For example, Rep. Alexandria #Ocasio-Cortez asked,

“Is anyone archiving these #Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their #complicity in the future?”

Robert #Reich, Labor Secretary under #Clinton, and adviser to #Obama, Tweeted,

“When this nightmare is over, we need a #Truth and #Reconciliation Commission [to] name every official, #politician, #executive and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.”

Chris #Hayes, an #MSNBC host agreed saying,

“The most #humane and #reasonable way to deal with all these people, if we survive this, is some kind of truth and reconciliation commission.”

And Dick #Costolo, the former #CEO of #Twitter, said,

“Me-first capitalists … are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the #revolution. I’ll happily provide video commentary.”

Clearly social media companies like Twitter are a big part of the efforts to unify the nation.

Twitter deleted 70,000 accounts using the trespassing of the #Capitol as an excuse.

#Amazon Web Services removed the alternative social media site #Parler from its servers, while #Apple and #Google deleted Parler from their app stores.

#Facebook and #Reddit joined the purge, feverishly removing content that they don’t want their users to see.

#Stripe, #PayPal, and #Visa announced they would stop processing payments to certain politicians and non-profits

guilty of #thought #crimes.

Yesterday I read in the completely fair and objective media that simply acknowleding this tech purge makes one a #conspiracy #theorist.

#Axios news wrote a segment titled, Right wing’s new conspiracy: “The silencing”.

They went on to say that only crazy conspiracy theorists believe that there are efforts to #silence #conservative voices.

In other words, if you believe what you can see with your own eyes, you’re a conspiracy theorist.

Most recently, for example, #Harvard has purged #Congresswoman Elise #Stefanik from its advisory board.

Stefanik’s crime? She publicly questioned #voting #irregularities in the 2020 #election.

Now, some people may think that she’s a terrible person because of her beliefs. And in fairness it’s Harvard’s right to choose whoever they want for their board.

But now there’s a petition from the woke Harvard #mob to #revoke her degree, effectively erasing her existence from the institution.

They want to #cancel her. Yet even merely acknowledging that this is happening now makes you a conspiracy theorist according to the media.

The left’s cries of “ #de-fund the police” have turned to “fund the #secret #police,” as lawmakers reintroduce “domestic terror” bills to create new units under the Department of Homeland Security to monitor American “ #extremism”.

But the #assassinatetrump and #killtrump hashtags that Twitter has allowed since 2016— that’s totally fine free speech!

During the summer #BLM riots, #looting #Target stores and burning down police stations were acts of #courage.

They even literally declared an independent #autonomous #zone and took over government buildings. Yet no one in the media ever used the words #insurrection, #sedition, or #treason.

#AOC praised these mostly peaceful protests and said the entire point of them is “to make people feel uncomfortable.”

But if you feel the slightest bit uncomfortable that 25,000 troops are in the nation’s capital, along with tanks and attack helicopters, then you’re a (you guessed it!) conspiracy theorist.

Remember, though, #ignorance is #strength, so we should probably just #obey the experts.

Trust in Social Security to provide retirement. Trust the Federal Reserve to improve the economy. Trust the media to tell the truth. Trust that the tech companies will continue to allow your free speech.

Or… as an alternative… make your own Plan B.
