I'll be honest, I don't mind when people make alternative softwares that don't work with Nostr, ATProto, or ActivityPub. I mind when they refuse to make it open-source or use an LLM to create it.

Now we need Asians with T, and Africans with F, and Australia with Mate.

Where would a fediverse server get the money to plant all those puff pieces in the press?

It's such a shame that when I saw "free speech alternative" in the meme I knew exactly the kind of person proposing it

I still find it somewhat weird and mind blowing that the mangos social network is a modded mastodon instance

Why is European seen as a selling point?

On the other hand, you have major European instances (feddit.org) geoblocking a quarter of the world (Asia) and degrading the fediverse experience for any users there.
