Is there room for another kind of decentralized social media?

    Don’t see the appeal of it. If you value your privacy use Mastodon or else you use Threads that has 130M users and not 3M.

      That’s not quite right. Mastodon does not have any privacy at all and it’s not safe to treat it as privacy platform.

      What makes Mastodon worth using is the federated model and lack of commercial engagement algorithms.

      Mastodon has no privacy at all. Even if you host your own instance. People use Mastodon for freedom and to get away from manipulation by corporate social media.

      Yea I have. It’s more twitter-like in its vibe. But people seem happy there.

      I’m not really a twitter person … so it’s not really my jam. But the AT Proto as an idea interests me and I’m interested to see what happens on it. Big question for is still whether a second (or third etc) relay will every be run.
