The limits of owning your own infra to seize the means of production come down to who is keeping the bare metal alive on the rack.
Of course only a relatively small portion of the #fediverse is affected by this particular outage. The major servers are “unperturbed” and folks might have to notice that certain accounts aren’t active right now if they weren’t aware of this cluster outage on our host’s host.
This outage should be brief as OVH is on it. Feels like a small price to pay for the general ease-of-use afforded, otherwise. We also enjoy the GDPR by hosting in France. All technical choices made for building an alternate social media autonomy are essentially political.
In "Social Quitting," my latest @LocusMag column, I analyze the precipitous #VibeShift of the dominant social media platforms: how we so quickly went from wondering how to get shut of them to asking where we go now that we're all ready to quit.

The core of the argument revolves around #surpluses - that is, the value that exists in the service. For a user, surpluses are things like "being able to converse with your friends" and "being able to plan activities with your friends." 3/
No matter how benevolent a dictatorship is, it's still a dictatorship, and subject to the dictator's whims. We must demand that the owners and leaders of tech platforms be fair and good - but we must also be prepared for them to fail at this, sometimes catastrophically. 1/

0/ In the past weeks, #Mastodon network grew by 50% (and counting). A growth level that would impress any investor. And a growth level that makes many of the network's older users weary. To grow or not to grow – this is the big question for the #Fediverse. A 🧵:

2/ New users are organically joining Mastodon, at a steady pace of 300k/week. Will the institutional backbone grow and adjust as well? I recently published an opinion on this in @techpolicypress: techpolicy.press/priorities-to-…
#ContentModeration is fundamentally about making social media work better, but there are two other considerations that determine how social media *fails*: #EndToEnd (#E2E), and #FreedomOfExit. 1/
These are much neglected, and that's a pity, because how a system fails is every bit as important as how it works. 2/
