If you're a creator who still primarily or exclusively posts to Twitter after Nitter was killed off, you're not gonna have an audience outside of Twitter anymore moving forward. Meanwhile Mastodon will let people see or even interact with your content without a Mastodon account as anyone can see a public post without an account, period, and anyone with an account on any ActivityPub or ActivityPub-compatible platform can interact with Mastodon posts.
If you want to post your own content on a public instance, you do need an account for that, though, or you can self-host.
But basically, if you're still posting exclusively to Twitter, you won't have an audience outside of Twitter anymore, while someone on PIxelfed could interact with a Mastodon post or vice-versa, for example.
Invidious and Redlib are next in Big Tech's crosshairs as Google and Reddit are surely going to be empowered by this.
Also, should the alternative platforms be worried about getting targeted for simply being competition too? Like, what's stopping Musk from maliciously patenting microblogging and using that to go after Mastodon, for instance?
You think Meta is generating most of it themselves to intentionally stoke Islamophobia? They're evil enough to do that and they have a past history of this sorta thing.
Hypothetically a given public media service could host their own Fediverse instance if they can afford to maintain it, and they should if they can pull it off.
Lobbied and advertised out of existence by Big Autos. The big car companies successfully advertised everyone into needing huge pick-ups when they really didn't, and lobbied for easy emissions passage while small cars have to meet ever-stricter emissions rules. We're even at the point where SUVs are replacing sports cars in some instances even when a 5k lb brick will never outmaneuver something like a Miata or a TT RS on a track.
It's donation-based rather than a constant revenue source. It'll work for secondary, but maybe not as a primary income. Basically, if you're relying on donations for your primary or even only income, and you hit a slow month, that could actually hurt worst case.
They'd be a fun snow generator too, though, provided the outside weather is already cold enough to support snow, that is.
Ooh, Charmander could use his Flamethrower attack to fire hardened and glazed pottery in a pottery class too. Who needs a kiln in the Pokemon world when the finished pots can be placed in a pit for a cute little fire lizard to use his Flamethrower attack to fire them instead? Surely someone's depicted this in fanart already and I'm not the only one to think of it.
Maybe the reason Mastodon never got off the ground is because Bsky basically strangled them by popping up out of nowhere and stealing their potential userbase?
That also probably drives the Fediverse's adoption as well because people are tired of getting walled in by hostile corporations.
If you don't have a lot of content to move over, and rarely post, I'm pretty happy on peertube.wtf, however there's a 100GB limit and you can only upload 10GB a day. Meanwhile if you're at active YTer with a lot of content, CuddlyTube also seems pretty good from a cursory glance and has no upload limits. Oh, and if you're considering MakerTube, they're paywalled now because of some shit going on at Hetzner., so let that be your warning for going with that instance, and spectra.video's also considering paywalling for the same reason that MakerTube is paywalled.
You could also self-host if you have the hardware on hand or can afford the VPS to, and you have the admin skills to pull it off.
That would mean killing the entire internet whose servers run Linux, because the kernel is messing with AI now.
How soon before AI is forced onto every creator on YT?
Madoff Altman is at it again.
Don't do this, just run a Linux distro if you don't run anything that's vendor-locked to Windows by DRM.
I suppose you could start firing up alt nets like Freenet or like meshnets and the like assuming the worst happens to the clearnet.

This is the second coming of Nazi book burnings.
This is all by Google's design.

Beyond that, the fact that Bsky came up out of nowhere and ate Mastodon's lunch around that time just reeks of hostility to me.
No, AFAIK they still push ads on you whether you're monetized or not.
As Google intended.
