@mho interesting rise in Mastodon! How does Flipboard compare?

@julian this is really neat.

@shellsharks also I added a link to "Cloudy with a chance of not enshittifying" to the Appendix of "links on Bluesky and decentralization that are worth reading even though they don't mention Blacksky" in https://privacy.thenexus.today/decentralization-and-erasure-blacksky-bluesky-and-the-atmosphere-2/ ... you made some good points in that article!

Pixelfed's rapid growth is very exciting. Still, until you have a mod team -- and the underlying software supports mod dashboards and roles -- please consider switching to invite-only registration (and encourage or even require other instances listed on pixelfed.org to do the same). The opportunity isn't going to go away: Meta and Instagram aren't going to get any less evil, so people who are interested now will still be interested one you've got the team and softrware in place. In fact many other social networks have successfully used invite-only phases to build pent-up demand. But a moderation disaster (which is increasingly likely as things grow without the proper tools and teams in place) could permanently damage Pixelfed's reputation in a way that's very hard to recover from. And, until there's good moderation support in the software, you're putting both the people who sign up and the people who are hosting instances at risk.@dansup
