I must preface this comment by saying that I read this article as a Mastodon user, due to your brief mention of Mastodon within the article. But after having read the article, I would in particular make the distinction that there is less of a focus on copying the status game, and more of a focus on utility. Which is to say, I have made the observation that most people coming to Mastodon seeking an alternative to Twitter have generally followed one of two patterns: + +1) They find that the status game on Mastodon is lacking, or rather, intentionally de-emphasized by comparison, and so they go back to Twitter where they can proclaim to their followers that Mastodon sucks. + +2) They came to Mastodon seeking utility and an escape from the pervasive status game of Twitter, and thus they come to appreciate the fact that there are no ads, that timelines are chronological, that actual human moderators exist to deal with trolls and abusers, etc. + +Which isn't to say that Mastodon is in itself immune to social capital, but rather, that an emphasis on utility is to be expected or even necessary, if a network is to survive. Of course, there's the advantage that Mastodon's network is actually a network of networks similar to email, and so Mastodon's success or failure is instead bound to how well it allows its users to access that existing network. + +For a network that, for the past decade, has largely been against capital itself (including social capital), perhaps the main takeaway is that we should be building sustainable utility-driven solutions in order to counteract the necessity of relying on social capital. diff --git a/hugo/content/notes/100040916509633482/index.md b/hugo/content/notes/100040916509633482/index.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..dd63b60 --- /dev/null +++ b/hugo/content/notes/100040916509633482/index.md @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ ++++ +indieweb_type = "note" +tags = [] +date = "2018-05-16T20:40:00Z" +attachment = [] +original = "https://mastodon.social/@trwnh/100040916509633482" ++++ + +I like Mastodon but I'm scared it might become a de facto standard, basically the IE6 of the fediverse. there's plenty of opportunities to learn from the "mistakes" of Mastodon but the longer it remains the only usable experience, the more entrenched it becomes and the more all new projects will have to make concessions to maintain compatibility. + +if i ever did go ahead with making my own alternative to mastodon, then i think i'd focus on making it MUCH easier to run and manage... but i'm all talk tho. i haven't got the time or energy to do it or to teach myself enough to be able to pursue it. :/ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/hugo/content/notes/108588546793521204/index.md b/hugo/content/notes/108588546793521204/index.md index f9b777c..967cf4a 100644 --- a/hugo/content/notes/108588546793521204/index.md +++ b/hugo/content/notes/108588546793521204/index.md @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ +++ -kind = "note" +indieweb_type = "note" tags = [] date = "2022-07-04T05:15:00Z" attachment = ["image.png"] diff --git a/hugo/content/notes/99865201213509948/index.md b/hugo/content/notes/99865201213509948/index.md index da702d4..4e5d110 100644 --- a/hugo/content/notes/99865201213509948/index.md +++ b/hugo/content/notes/99865201213509948/index.md @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ +++ -kind = "note" +indieweb_type = "note" tags = ["boktai"] date = "2018-04-15T19:54:00Z" attachment = [] original = "https://mastodon.social/@trwnh/99865201213509948" +++ -i'm so emo that boktai 3 never launched outside of japan and also that boktai as a series is super dead and konami will never continue it and kojima probably can't/won't either due to copyright and the fact that it's been over 10 years since boktai ds and also kojima doesn't work for konami anymore UGH. where do you go to find quirky existentialist video games based on norse mythology and spaghetti westerns in the year of your lord 2018, you ask?
