I wouldn't generalise that and I wouldn't see it that pessimistically. True, many people may behave the way they did on Twitter, but given the technical differences, screaming and trolling won't have the same effect as on Twitter. In the end, many will change their behaviour or return to Twitter.
I see federation as the main reason why the fediverse (even incl. most of the Mastodon network) is conversations-based, not claims-based. (It's "social media", not "scream media"). At least for now there is no way that one can accummulate favs and approvals by being obnoxious or doing outrageous things. And this is not just because the Fediverse is no silo – in fact, Mastodon run instances creating the Mastodon network pretty much are one – but because due to federation there is no one meta-instance in which a person can become famous.
In fact, I see the fediverse as an environment for learning to interact and disagree gracefully. And those who don't want that vanish into their respective corners or go elsewhere.
Este año, como todos los años, internet se llenará de arengas bien intencionadas, imágenes, carteles y fotografías de niñas y mujeres vestidas de morado.
Y mi corazón, mientras recuerda, mientras se lame viejas heridas, mientras sostiene, sólo está con todas aquellas que siguen viviendo en el Infierno en la tierra, muchas veces solas mientras la gente a su alrededor hace lo de 🙈🙉🙊 o directamente les hace la zancadilla, porque enfangarse cuando toca da miedo o pereza #25N
#Twitter is part of the U.S. disaster and emergency communications infrastructure. As https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/11/19/twitter-emergencies/ points out, about 1 in 5 U.S. Americans use Twitter. So it's here where people get their info, or from platforms that pass through announcements that originated on Twitter.
Also, as the article points out, :
« [O]fficials expressed confidence in their ability to spread messages and warnings without Twitter, using tried-and-true methods like email distribution lists and wireless alert systems [...]
“We’ve been sharing messages for a long time, long before Twitter came into existence,” said Karina Shagren, the communications director for the Washington Military Department in Tacoma [...] “We’ve always been modifying strategies, and we’ll do it again if we need to.” »
The main problem is not that Musk purportedly undermines Twitter's part in the disaster and emergency communications #infrastructure but that in the U.S. critical infrastructure is run by private companies. (Cf. the winter blackouts in Texas of 2021.)
Thus on the one hand it's a deeper seated structural problem (i.e., capitalism), on the other hand it's not something that is peculiar to Musk's handling of Twitter. In fact, given Twitter's share in the infrastructure, it may serve to Musk as further incentive to keep Twitter running decently.
@boss A ver, dependerá de qué software del #Fediverso hablemos, cómo esté configurado... son muchas variables.
Digamos que apagas tu nodo a las 12 de la noche, y lo enciendes a las 8 de la mañana. Entiendo que tu nodo empezará a federar como loco, intentando recuperar contenido publicado durante esas horas (que normalmente llega en cuestión de segundos o pocos minutos).
Habrá servidores configurados para enviarte solo lo último, y no lo de las 8 horas. Habrá otros que hayan intentado conectarse, y al no poder, dejen de intentarlo.
Es todo un mundo... Si alguien sabe más, que diga, por cierto!
@boss A ver, si te la montas tú, pues ya está, es tu decisión.
Desde un punto de vista técnico... seguramente se "ahogaría" un poco al arrancarla por tener que procesar peticiones en espera, y eso con suerte, porque seguramente muchas se perderían.
Le veo más sentido a usar algún aparato (tipo Pi, pero hay muchas más) de bajo consumo.
