Could the 2020s be the decade of decentralized social media?

So last decade was filled with corporate social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, etc. And I mean it still is but perhaps if we play our cards right we can make 2020 the age of decentralized social media? Maybe we won’t end up being the top 5 pages on the internet but we just have to grab a good portion of people to compete more directly with the big corpos. Descripción

  • They've been doing this for a long time now. Thanks for the info my friend I will make sure to spread that page around and make sure everyone knows about this dirty tactic that big corpos use to kill competition.

  • You guys need to know of Louis Remme's race against a steamship to withdraw his money from a bank!

    I just read this amazing account of a man who had deposited $12,500 dollars worth of gold on a bank in Sacramento only to realize later in the day that the bank had declared bankruptcy! Looking for a solution he realized that a branch of the bank in Portland hadn't heard the news yet if he could get there before a steamship carrying the message arrived at Portland he could potentially get his money back!

    You guys need to read the story, it has all of the wild west drama you could want.

    how’s your week going, Beehaw
  • Thanks for the kind words stranger, your story rings so many bells to me too, I basically cried internally once I knew it was all over and then to my family, I am thankful that I have a lot of support at home so I was able to process it in peace.

    I have been placing a lot of pressure on myself for this but it's in the past all I can do is learn from it and do better which is what I am planning to do.

    I hope you find a lot of success in your life my friend! Thank you for your words.

  • If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnes
  • Yes but not everyone lives in a flatland like the dutch do, I believe I could fully transition to a bicycle if cars weren't the top priority on my city, but I know many friends that live in parts of the city that are basically mountains.

  • how’s your week going, Beehaw
  • Thanks my friend, not gonna lie I actually cried, I thought I had it I studied hard for the final exam but it still wasn't enough. Whatever it is I enter next I'll make sure to change my studying habits.

  • What's your favorite internet "oldie"?
  • I was a kid in the 2000's so for me the oldies were playing the flash games on cartoon network, miniclip and armor games. My first real exposure to social media was YouTube 2006-2008 somewhere around there watching Smosh and whatever crap was there back in the day.

  • What subreddits would you like to see replicated on the Fediverse?
  • I want to know what do you guys think of national/local subreddits? I found it pretty interesting to see the different national subs on Reddit like the German one or the swedish one or the french one, I found that my own nation's sub would sometimes give me information about something before it hit the local news.

  • how’s your week going, Beehaw
  • I just flunked out of what I thought was going to be my career (physics) I'm not sure if this is the correct term but I failed at my bachelor's? I'm thinking of doing an engineering degree instead.

  • Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit?
  • I was introduced to Reddit thanks to CGPgrey and have been using it since high school, It's definitely sad to see it dying but I'll just treat it as the end of yet another phase of the internet. Such is the will of the sands of time.
