Flipboard<p>“The Fediverse Isn’t the Future.

It will succeed if and only if people choose it. If they reject the idea that being trapped in someone else’s ecosystem is just the cost of existing online. If they stop believing that “free” means surrendering ownership of your own connections, your own history, your own data. If they see that the internet wasn’t built to be a factory for engagement metrics and AI-generated content farms. It was built to connect us, not silo us to pad a wealth-extremist’s bank account,” she writes. </p><p><a href="https://www.joanwestenberg.com/the-fediverse-isnt-the-future-its-the-present-weve-been-denied" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">joanwestenberg.com/the-fediver</span><span class="invisible">se-isnt-the-future-its-the-present-weve-been-denied</span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/DigitalSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/JoanWestenberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JoanWestenberg</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/OpenSocialWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSocialWeb</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/WalledGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WalledGardens</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newstodon</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewstodonFriday</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FollowFriday</span></a></p>

william.maggos<p>Again, <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bluesky</span></a> can censor.

Feral Thoughts<p>A relay may complicate the above picture slightly. But if server Y in the above example is an isolated <a href="https://union.place/tags/GlobalSouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalSouth</span></a> instance, or if it is running software (such as Hubzilla) not based on <a href="https://union.place/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a>, then the relay will most likely not be pulling posts from there, so the example will still hold.</p><p>In this context, remember many instances do not add relays because the additional posts pulled in through the relay increase the storage and processing costs.</p><p>(continues)</p>
