  • It’s not zero, each fiefdom has very little power to keep users. As it is right now, a user unhappy with their instance culture or laws can move to another instance. Comparing it to moving in real life, in real life you have a lifetime worth of things that tie you to your fiefdom. Comparing it to well established and centralised social media, then those fiefdoms still have a lot of power over you.

    Your social network can’t come with you, they’re SSO providers, they’re tracking and human-verification providers, they have high quality exclusive content, they’re sometimes the only channel for interacting with some third parties you have to interact with (Government, utility company, etc).










  • The people who make YT Music and Spotify must have autism, because they too assume it’s normal to listen to the same handful of songs every day.

    When I vent about this IRL people agree that it’s ridiculous, but then I go online and I see the opposite, complaints that the service recommended a new song or a song they didn’t like. They even took out the discovery button from YT Music.
