I'll be honest, I don't mind when people make alternative softwares that don't work with Nostr, ATProto, or ActivityPub. I mind when they refuse to make it open-source or use an LLM to create it.

Now we need Asians with T, and Africans with F, and Australia with Mate.
Tasians, fafricans, matestralia?
Someone please explain what this means.
It's a reference to their main exports. Asians love Tea, Africans love to ~~Fuck~~ Fly, and Australians drink a weird german brand of caffeinated apple juice
That's the most racist thing I've hear recently.
I didnt mean it to be, sorry. I'll change it
Where would a fediverse server get the money to plant all those puff pieces in the press?
If they have money to waste on building a new platform, they have money to put into a instance and press releases for it.
If you have money to blow on a press junket, that implies you got venture funding. If you got venture funding, that implies that you had to promise them how you were going to screw your users over in the long term and capture them in a walled garden of extraction and exploitation. Hope this helps
It's such a shame that when I saw "free speech alternative" in the meme I knew exactly the kind of person proposing it
I still find it somewhat weird and mind blowing that the mangos social network is a modded mastodon instance
On the other hand, you have major European instances (feddit.org) geoblocking a quarter of the world (Asia) and degrading the fediverse experience for any users there.
Why is European seen as a selling point?
