I feel like he should have taken a long holiday. Not being rude or anything, but a new social network needs thorough thinking. For instance everywhere i read about the topic on casual forums, someone mentions myspace. Maybe it is time that such a network is built - fun customisations and neutral content.

#32No thanks. I'm done with Jack and I'm done with Elon. Mastodon is great and it's already starting to feel like home. Don't need anymore drama from these reckless people.
Mastodon is only free of issues because the masses haven't found it yet. Give it a few years and it'll be the same as or worse than twitter, given Mastodon's lack of moderation.
Moderation shmoderation, but irt "the masses" it seems like a lot of this fediverse stuff tops out in the hundreds of users per instance, not in the thousands or tens of thousands. I'd love to be corrected on this, as I'm afraid that if Mastodon gets one good news day, the entire network would instantly crash.

#33> closer inspection reveals that the underlying technology will not be purely blockchain-based. “I’m confident in our decision not to put social media content on a blockchain,” tweeted Bluesky CEO Jay Graber. “It’s blockchain independent and optional." What does it mean to be blockchain optional?
Micropayments or similar will likely utilize a blockchain?

If the speech is illegal in whatever jurisdictions apply, then remove it; otherwise, it should stay. Yes, even trolling and slurs. If a platform emulating the public square goes beyond what is legal, it ceases to be a neutral platform and inevitably becomes a vehicle for propaganda. I realize that means propaganda could be spread by the users, but I'd rather than than the platform and users spreading it. The real que…
Spam is 100% legal in all jurisdictions, so your legal free speech plan sounds like a total hellscape.
There are definitely laws against spam

#35Decentralized means complicated and no regular people will use it.
Since it appears that regular people ruin every social network, I don't see this as a bad thing :-)

Bleh, I find your position is boring because it's so easily shown to be unworkable. Imagine there have a platform run as you suggest and I don't like what you're saying on it: I flood you and anyone that supports you with not-quite-illegal abuse, misinformation, non-sense, spam, false flag support from people with deplorable views. Copy-cats of you that take your positions but weakly argued or with a touch of added g…
There are quite a few websites with little or no moderation working just fine, like 4chan.
But I honestly don't understand this whole argument. Twitter is a social network, you just need to only receive messages from your network or "friends of a friend".
You can't have both a global network and get offended given the multitude of opinions and laws in the world.
The problem seems to be less that people are offended by something, but that some people don't want other people to even be exposed to some thoughts. Some paternalistic higher-than-though attitude.

Why is lack of moderation a problem on Mastodon?
Twitter pushes content from random users you don't follow, that creates a responsibility to moderate (plus they need to keep the advertisers happy).
The Mastodon timeline is direct follows. If I see some stuff I don't like, I can talk with that person or simply unfollow them.

Why does this feel so forced and astroturfed on this site and yet has essentially no traction

Like no regular people use e-mail nor phones/SMS.
