Typical fediverse drama:

  • Lemmy is like Reddit for the fediverse. Mastodon is like Twitter for the fediverse. there's a version of facebook for the fediverse, instagram for the fediverse, etc.
  • the fediverse is better in that it's designed to be non-corporate and open-source and other good things
  • in theory, you should be able to post from one part of the fediverse to the other
  • someone was like: here's a proof of concept that you can post from one part of the fediverse to ALL the other parts of the fediverse!
  • a mod was like: your post is pointless and an annoyance and you are just working for advertisers
  • the poster was like: wat? how would advertising work?
  • the mod was like: give me money or leave me alone, and then locked and removed the post.

Is there any evidence of the mod part?

Comrades, I'm really starting to think that social media is just bad right across the board

The common denominator is us, the humans

Cats do. That's why they rub against surfaces. Other cats can ~~tell~~ smell if it's somecat they know, and also how long ago they were there. Then they can decide when to go there and when to avoid that place. I reckon other animals do something similar. Traditional human hunters look for those social media posts and act accordingly.

By that definition, a fart is social media too πŸ˜†

Gazelles talking shit about lions and them going "that's a lot of talk coming from someone within hunting distance"

Fediverse was an idea to share the content between apps, nowdays, its difficult share content between Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfeed, etc.

Yeah, I'm not sure what we're looking at here.

I think, @Sergio@slrpnk.net summed it up well:

I think it's just a joke about trying to get hashtags working on a Mastodon post?
