It's better than if they built something else 🤷🏾‍♂️

#Soapbox is way better tho

Yeah, I wonder why they didn't use Soapbox, but I don't know much about that stuff. I just know the mastodon part of the fediverse is full of babies.

Well, hardly anybody knows what #Mastodon is, and a good chunk of them don't know what #Pleroma is, and more people know what #Pleroma is than what #Soapbox is, do it actually doesn't surprise me too much. It's pretty sad tho.

I was trying to tell my friend who has a forum about Soapbox and Pleroma. Old school forums are really dying, the only active one I know about now is kiwi farms. The rest have maybe 20 active members left. I used a couple links that Alex gave me so he could read up on it, and someone in the replies said "Don't all these type of things end up taken over by crazy right wingers?" Another person just replied with a shocked emoji. Even people who have spent the past 20 years on the decentralized web are afraid of the decentralized web.

Yeah it's wild. I bet the software #4chan used didn't even get vilified.

It does make sense though, the vocabulary surrounding #Mastodon insinuates each server is merely a part to a whole rather than their own separate things

OH, I didn't know that! Isn't Mastodon just software? They try to make themselves seem like they are the Fediverse.

Mastodon is just software, but it’s now also a European nonprofit, and they use the term “the Mastodon network” to refer to the Fediverse.

There’s some meme about “the father, the son, and the holy ghost” of Mastodon with all the lines connected. Maybe someone will share it.
