Absolutely I was not trying to take away from your point! Cory Doctorow actually recently wrote a good piece on Wikipedia that you reminded me of.

I agree with your overall point, but Wikipedia has a singular mission. Social settings can have wildy different missions from shitposting, to hobbies, study groups, to support groups, etc. There is no singular moderation ethos that can apply to all of them, that's why decentralization is important in social media.

We want to algorithms to work for the people, not have people slaving for the algorithms.

BlueSky is centralized. Describing it as "federated" is being (intentionally, in your case) misleading.

I'm sorry your credibility is at zero with me. You keep avoiding the point.

I don't understand, $600M? Is anyone using this browser?

Nothing big is wrong with them, the drama got blown way out of proportion to a frankly insane degree.

My rule of thumb is to delete any service with "inserted content" I'm unable to block
