Corporate platforms earn money through ads, and this money trickle down to the creators. Creators bring viewers to the platform. It’s full circle.

can we somehow like, recreate this circle?

edit; well It’s really just ads that we need to solve.

What does federation add that allows stronger community and flourishing exchanges?

More creation on the fediverse (Interest-based Instances) - the ones that makes us a living and breathing community is the ones being productive in it. meaning that using fediverse is for not wasting your time, rather to be part of something meaningful.

on fediverse is you might as well to utilize it differently from normal social media. finding things to be part of. some people know how to do it on normal social media but it doesn’t happen often and It’s kind of a destructive environment to them. I don’t think playing with fire is fun, or like fun… but with a restraining order. these corporation are in short; ‘if we don’t like you, you can’t speak. and also we might just inconspicuously control your behavior, but you won’t know that. so It’s gonna be fine… for us.’ the usage for twitter and reddit is to post things blindly or not use it at all. or for spreading a good message. only. don’t spend your time there, don’t risk your well-being.

Thanks for adding something to write. this is what I was looking for.

by the way, how would you compare this to something like a fairphone and linux phones for privacy?

as long as I don’t have to solder anything to the phone. a day of just flashing my phone is fine.

I think I can start with this; https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxySIIIGTI9300

facebook’s good features; intregrated chat, groups, communities. sometimes It’s free to use facebook with your sim data plan. alot of old nostalgic online games like pet society.

reddit good features; I really like the dark mystery and investigation stuff, can’t be found anywhere else than on reddit.

the spooky features of both; data-selling. spying. ads. lizard people and cringe memes. for reddit that it’s basically an education camp where people are slowly “nudged” to behave a certain way. or in other words, a rat box.

Nope, unlike twitter which you lump everyone inside of one platform(and which is a platform designed to fuel disagreements and outrage). fediverse will consist of instances that are focused on communities, people who are interested in different stuff go to their own separate places. you want the normies out? just make your own instance.

cool! I’ll just strap a wifi adapter to my phone. I’ll consider using this as my main phone. as for banking and other stuff that needs gapps I’ll just buy something like motorola or fairphone with lineageos.

so, I could buy the phone secondhand and do all the blob removal work myself is that correct?

I would use an old phone anytime if It’s better for privacy. but battery life is important too for usability, I don’t think those old batteries will last…

There is a certain level of skill I need for the video production. right now because of the script not being done, I’m doing scouting. do you have a resume or works you’ve done?

I’m going to wait for 24 hours for any input from people. and if there’s none I’ll close this post and starting this project by myself.

not if someone like pewdiepie joins everyone would announce it like It’s an achievement and celebrate it.

Obviously if you want to see the end result of this project, you wouldn’t want to read this post. but this is targeted at non fediverse users. and I’m gonna take time to make this as interesting as it gets so It’ll be a while. might as well help instead.

hmm. what phone do you use personally then? I haven’t dipped much into privacy on phones. but I think you know more than I do. I’ll read your article later, I just want a good answer for now.

Hmm… I’m not gonna be harsh or anything to someone who doesn’t know. you might wanna learn something more about ios privacy.

I thought xiaomi is a chinese phone. is it safe?

What should I use?

what do you recommend then?

Do you reaaally need google apps? It’s good that I don’t even have to option to use crapware like whatsapp. forcing people to talk to me through matrix
