Why does the new #ChatGPT update sound like it wants to fuck me?

maybe instead of misrepresenting peoples arguments you can take a moment and listen to concerns of people who don't look like you.
Not everyone has the privilege or the means to live up to your puritan ideology of what the fediverse should be. Some of us are in the unfortunate position of considering how interpolating with a hostile corporation will affect others.

One thing I'm fuzzy on with #BlueSky's Public Data Servers (PDS) is why would anyone ever need to switch to a new PDS?
The selling point is— if you don't like your server, you can move your account. But PDSs have a greatly reduced role in #ATProto when compared to, say, #ActivityPub.
Nothing is handled on the PDS layer except storage and authentication. What could a server do to make someone unhappy enough to move?

"Don't you want to make the social web more like email?" he typed in an email that went straight to the recipient's spam folder because he wasn't using one of the big four email providers.

The reason why #Threads and #Mastodon are incompatible is that Mastodon is a community, and Threads is a market. That's it.
It's not big Fed vs small Fedi. It's not platforms vs protocols.
It's communities vs markets.
Communities are supportive and markets are extractive. Communities answer to those who must live with decisions made. Markets answer to money.
And wouldn't you know it, those contrasting forces influence people's behaviors, goals, and motivations for engaging with others.
