so much will open up when/if the fedi garners the largest audience and the value of social media being decentralized becomes widely acknowledged.

not that big of an issue. my bigger problem is people just constantly boosting (their stuff and others) all the time. I'll turn off boosting for them sometimes. but boosting (other people's stuff) more here than other places is warranted imo until the fedi is more popular.

I think Mastodon wants to do it better, to make it harder to use for harassment. I think we have better moderation so that this isn't really necessary, but I appreciate the effort.
I'd like it to work more like a normal boost but where you also see the comment from the booster. I think that's the spirit behind the thing, not to create another thread that's essentially separate from the original post. That's what a normal QT did.

I feel like the decentralization of media is happening but it's so fucking slow and confused. The public interest perspective is like the last reason anybody considers. Routing around government, corporate and billionaire control over what we think and pay attention to is why this all really matters. #LiberalValues #AttentionDemocracy

Do #threads users see anything when we follow them here? I know they see likes, right?

This is why we will win (if #threads ever fully federates). Over time, people will recognize that algos and ads serve the interests of the platform owners (and maybe the top .0001% of most popular accounts) over those of the users. Your time on social media can be spent seeing stuff from the people you follow (and what they boost), or what the platform owner decides you should see. What you want is not what they want. Given the choice, people will avoid ads and algos.

am I right that nostr does have these different services and has a similar model?
