I really, deeply appreciate your original tweet. We don't need more things that grow explosively and consume all available resources and morph the world in their image. Thanks for prompting some valuable thoughts for me about human-scale tech.
1000% this. The perspective of fedi as human-time-scale tech is a really great way of understanding it. And yeah, we need more of it rather than "fail faster".
didn't like or reply to either of my responses but 'liked' this. I guess if you found a crypto currency you probably think money is the most important part. sometimes it really surprises me how short sighted "smart" people are
I don't stop using Linux because other people aren't using it? Nor should we stop using mastodon/fediverse.
We have reasons to want more use of these alternatives. We shouldn't get a savior complex, or deny the downsides of what we do. In the case of z-cash ..uh.. lots of PoW cryptocurrency issues. But for the fediverse, follows are often long-physical-distance, which is not always ideal for socializing..
Although it is more common for mutuals on Fedi to be 100s of km away; even when I was on Birbsite I very rarely saw local events been tweeted there, it was more announcements from public services (highways, emergency services) and people complaining about problems in the local area, comparatively little community building stuff...
He is no idiot, he is no noob, but he's in a place where he knows and built a lot of stuff and is pretty sure he looked at all the facts and people who draw a different conclusion are just tiresome.

•"There's people over here doing stuff!"
"Bah! Denialism!"
What does he mean?

•The alleged denialism is our failure to use his criteria for success. It's go big or go home, clearly.

•My theory du jour: half the four billion are troll accounts from that anti-wife guy and various scrapers and/or Fash.

•And ZCash failed about 8 billion people too! My parents don't know about ZCash. Just give up already.
