On #Mastodon the #UkraineCrisis and related #Ukraine terms are not down-ranked by our algorithm, as we don’t HAVE an algorithm, just humans sharing what they care about to their friends. That’s it. cc: @FedorovMykhailo

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey tweeted that he regrets the social media platform became a company. He also said that he wished it operated under 'a protocol,' which would be similar to email in that it is not controlled by one centralized entity

If each Discord server was actually hosted and operated by different people and not just provided by Discord itself, and if you could follow people like on Twitter, and if it didn't matter which Discord that person was on you could still follow them, then yes, basically that.

“A decentralized Twitter could allow users to set moderation rules for their own communities” … only a matter of time before this kind of empowerment is reality IMO (whether or not its architect is Twitter)

@wickdchiq Hi Erika, we're very sorry. Your account was suspended by mistake, and we've just unsuspended it. It was reported as an impersonator linking to a tweet you made where you said you had an impersonator on Mastodon; both the reporter and the mod misread the tweet.

@SineadCrowley You know how everyone has an email, but also has their own email provider? It is, indeed, kind of like that on Mastodon. Different providers, but everyone can communicate with one another.

Then we would be just like Twitter with ads, tracking, terrible moderation, and the threat of being bought by billionaires. Decentralization is the key to solving anti-user incentives in social media!

Why does decentralization matter?
