Just went over to Twitter for the first time in a while, and everyone’s bleating about wanting an invite to Bluesky.

Meanwhile, Mastodon’s over there just working fine and doing what they want Twitter to do.

It’s bizarre.

Normies are confused by Mastodon and how it works. Tried suggesting it as an alternative on /r/worldnews and most people just said that it was too confusing; one guy said that he couldn’t login but turns out he forgot which instance he had signed up for originally.

Would it be possible to have you fediverse username connected to the blockchain so you could use it to associate with an instance? And if that instance closed, say, you could simply connect your blockchain based account identity to another instance?

GeneralRetreat ,

Why would blockchain be necessary to do that? Honestly, 99% of the time blockchain is just a highly inefficient buzzword.

Usually there are better ways to achieve the same outcome, with the added bonus of not automatically attracting a cavalcade of Web3 con-artists and grifters.

Soki ,

Why not use good old signatures for that?

keardap ,

Why would you need blockchain for that?

Not a great day for social media. Twitter down, Reddit has not 3rd party apps, Lemmy is being hugged to death by people bailing Reddit and Twitter.

I guess I’ll go outside.

Lemmy isn’t hugged to death. The issue is that everyone is just heading to the same handful of instances.

Here’s the current usershare breakdown by instance, if anyone’s curious:

A pie chart depicting the top instances by usershare. The lemmy.world instance is in the top spot with 1/3 of the total usershare. The majority of the remaining pie is shared between the next 17 largest instances. The remaining 1/5 of the pie contains all other Lemmy instances.

Lemmy.world is getting a very big chunk, but other than that it actually seems fairly distributed.

I guess there has to be a lowest common denominator instance. Not at all a bad thing, it leaves the dedicated communities out of their inevitable implosion range which still having access.
