although this is unlikely to substantially and directly impact us and is a more immediate concern for Mastodon and similar fediverse software, we’ve signed the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact as a matter of principle. that pact pledges the following:
i am an instance admin/mod on the fediverse. by signing this pact, i hereby agree to block any instances owned by meta should they pop up on the fediverse. project92 is a real and serious threat to the health and longevity of fedi and must be fought back against at every possible opportunity
the maintainer of the site is currently a little busy and seems to manually add signatures so we may not appear on there for several days but here’s a quick receipt that we did indeed sign it.
The thing is, I never talked about UI.
Server =/= UI =/= fork =/= platform
Twitter is completely centralised because all the data is inside of a unique server and cannot interact with other social media platforms. You cannot talk to someone on tiktok through twitter.
You can federate, through the use of plug-ins, on/with Wordpress and (soon) Tumblr, but neither are decentralised, as each concentrates its data in a sole server.
I’m not really sure what you mean by platform then.
I meant social media project (and its forks). So, for example, Mastodon (+ its forks)
Matrix (protocol) doesn’t have the levels of federation and project diversity that other protocols have, it’s all Matrix (project) and its forks, servers, clients, etc. But, I mean, there are reasons for it to be like that
