Serious debate please: How is Mastodon decentralized?
  • Renting unlimited bandwidth is not cheap with higher storage. Btw an 8gig Ram rig with 5TB in data storage will run you about $2,000 with mid grade motherboard etc... plus $500 a month for a 30Gbps pipe.

  • Bluesky sees record signups day after Musk says X will go paid-only
  • What i don't get about mastodon is that if the owner wants to pull the plug he can take away the app any time. What kind of tomfoolery is this. He can also legally sue instances he doesn't like. how can you say mastodon is decentralized.

  • This is why it's not being downloaded. It has terrible reviews it's a 3.5 out of 5. You don't think it but people care about that.

    I have never tried Mastadon. Normally if a company is good it has great marketing as well as great direction, even if it's a nonprofit. For instance, federation can never work for growth because it's like operating a franchise. The owner of Mastadon doesn't give his franchisees any cut. If he did they would bend over for him to grow their instance. It's actually a new concept that is pretty smart but not executed well. Think I will copy it for Tiblur.com. Right now Mastodon is just a non profit version of McDonalds which all but ensures instance owners will lose their shirt if something bad happens on their instance and they are sued. Corporate structure is the only way. Just don't build a shitty company. Also, why isn't mastodon homie asking for peoples contacts, that's how any app grows. You can do what FaceBook and Instagram do but just dont be a shit.
