It’s too big to actually die. Like, even Digg is still somewhat around.
But my guess is I’ll continue to enshittify itself as time passes and will probably exist for quite some time as a husk of its former self. It’ll still have a lot of users, but it will lack a lot of content and the sense of community it once had.
Yeah, not mentioning even a single instance when writing about Fediverse is pretty shit journalism. I was expecting something much worse after reading your preparation steps though :) At least factually it’s not really incorrect.
I’m still waiting for some major news outlet to write a piece about Fediverse in general. It’s odd that it’s either glossed over in one sentence or not even mentioned at all.
Yeah, makes sense. I wonder if there's going to be a mute/shadow federation function so that the instance doesn't show up in /all, but you can still subscribe to a community to see its posts on your subscribed page.
Not for this instance specifically, but as in some general functionality.
If you sort by newest almost every comment has been 1 star for a couple of months already. It’s just hard to break through millions of reviews throughout the years. Time-weighed rating system would be more accurate.
Is it possible/reasonable to have some sort of a fediverse-encompassing api for search engines that would help index only the original threads? A separate instance maybe? Or is it going to stay as is?
