Im also wondering how the fediverse is toxic for black people.

90% of the users there arent folks

this community aims to change that by providing a safe space for expression without fear of ridicule or some big-word conglomerate stealing your words to power a fake-sentient SQL table.

How do you ensure that?

Its not FOSS anyways, its Source Available

Dickety!

Then users need to spin up their own instance, right? Then all their posts stay backed up if they choose?

Seems like a mediocre problem to get bent out of shape enough to move to a centralized platform.

It seems like a nice way to say “Bluesky moderates everything, so we get to curate your feed!”

Can you not just backup the instance on Mastodon?

I always disregarded it since it came as bloatware on my old samasung phones

Its fancy IRC with voice channel support, etc

woohoo! we got moderated content!!! cant wait for all the “organic” ads that pop up in my feed from users spouting the benefits of Tide^TM brand soap!!!

FOSS 4 Life, bb!

neither of you are looking at all the data harvesting that occurs on platforms like Meta and Reddit. Telemetry, keystrokes (not just submitted, but any key typed iincluding backspaced ones), and more, and NONE of that is harvested on this platform.

Could be non native speaker

Let the web2 exodus, BEGIN!!!

Aggregators will come out eventually too
