I feel like it’s mostly shitposting but soon enough there will be a more formal competition. Possibly with a standardized VM and local package cache.

The point is that the footage we see is part of the in-universe propaganda, so we have no reason to assume it’s true.

Once again proving that even fictional propaganda is highly effective.

Profoundly internalized hierarchy all over this thread.

My opinion is that what matters is how much money each part of the network receives.

For example, instances tend to be transparent about their funding. And we can see that some of them are just months away of being out of cash. Meanwhile, we see people subscribing(!) to a very expensive app that charges $20 to remove ads (and tracking and data collecting) otherwise.

I think is okay to keep people aware of these things. Getting defensive about it is just a waste of energy. For both sides.

Look, if people come to you in good faith to learn and you reply like this, how are you expecting to organize and positively influence people around you? Are you gonna build socialist utopia alone?

The idea is to build stuff together right? If you’re antagonizing everyone, how do you expect to achieve that?
