I don’t see much of an increase in those charts.

I would call that flat, not linear. Linear implies a non exponential increase. This looks flat.

You are badly misunderstanding many worlds theory.

What do you think “parallel universe theory” is?

“many worlds hypothesis” in quantum physics is nothing like Sci fi “parallel universe” stuff. Sci fi is fiction. Don’t get your understanding of science from Sci fi.

Threads sucks compared to bsky don’t know what you’re talking about there. Bluesky has way more features and posting quality.

Either way

Doesn’t work on boost client apparently.

Subscriptions work with fediverse content though?

Good, though more of a WordPress alternative. I’d like to see actual substack alternative in the fediverse, with the ability for users to pay authors for their work, via subscription, as substack does.

I know people are worried about monetization in the fediverse but authors need payment for their work. Subscriptions don’t have the same perverse incentives as advertising.

Flipboard ceo has mentioned he is supportive of the idea.

Linkblocks needs some branding work.

Your argument just as much as mine has lead to what we see now. Third parties have repeatedly failed to surmount the duopoly, and not for a lack of trying. My argument is not a recommitment to the duopoly.

It would not, due to the game theory problems of first past the post voting: https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

I’m not arguing for lesser evilism. I am pointing out a fact that you must contend with if you want to succeed. Third parties are doa. You must think more laterally.

Third parties are doa.

At this point consider that electoral politics may not be the way forward.

How do I as a user use mastopod etc?

It’s not implemented in mastodon or lemmy though. I’m not saying it can’t be implemented, but it hasn’t been in any platform.

The move activity ain’t a great solution. We need federated identity or else ux will continue to lag. When I want to move servers, I can set the move activity but there’s no guarantee my followers will subscribe to the new account. It’s bad ux. Mass adoption is not going to happen with that kind of flow.

Activity Pods is cool bit not implemented on mastodon.

There are important features that ATPro has that activity pub doesn’t. I’d prefer activity pub be the winner but they really need to improve some things. Namely, identity. Bluesky identity is more portable.

I wish they would but also ATPro has features that activity pub doesn’t, ones which I think activity pub needs to adopt if it is to stay relevant

I believe the “free our feeds” people are working to change this though.

You could be projecting some. Hard to say. You seem to be making some very strong conclusions which is hard to know if they are correct. Explicit communication is best. But try to start from a more neutral position and don’t assume your feelings/perceptions are accurate to how she feels.
