Time to think about moving from this instance but where to go? #Fediverse #Migration #Hmmm #Pondering #Indecision

@emsquared
Any particular reason why? (Out of curiosity.) -
@omnicaritas Not really. Just feeling guilty about being on the big instance. Got no issues witg the instance I'm on though I often pick up underlying resentment from smaller instances who seem to see more unsavoury material and bots from here than I seem to actually being on it.

So you'll see more unsavoury material and bots from here if you join a smaller instance then...

@juglugs @omnicaritas It must be the case as i see this complaint a lot along with the general moan at dot social for their size seemingly being a headache or admin burden to federate with. I have to assume that spam detection is either more lightly applied on smaller instances (time and money obviously an issue) or they're overly sensitive to bot accounts (I follow several that aren't malicious just either limited run,pre curated things or automated rss to fedi type things).

I'm probably being thick, but I therefore don't understand why you want to migrate to a less-good experience?

@juglugs @omnicaritas Other than feeling a kind of peer pressure by osmosis I'm not especially sure myself. Obviously if dot social does increasingly become defederated widely (as is often intimated) then I'd either move or stay in the big silo. The more likely scenario is that i procrastinate at length.

My life is basically governed through "peer pressure by osmosis"

Thanks Urban, I have been to there and Followed a few, but it looks like most of them have either gone, gone, or gone back to Twitter
-
@lyndamerry484 @uc I think most ex-Twitter refugees have gone to either Bluesky or Threads. Still a viable instance suggestion unless you feel the need for access to Threads or the bridge to Bluesky from here (not everyone's cuppa but each to their own) .
-
Thanks, yes each to their own, I just wondered if any or many in the UK were on here.
I have found a few who are active.
-
@lyndamerry484 @uc Obviously there's plenty of UK people on here though it's probably not what most refugees are looking for. It's way more my natural home but it's much more an antidote to corporate social media. I do believe the future of social media is forever now going to be a fractured one and people will stay where best fits with them but maybe, with checks and balances the means to talk to each other no matter each our chosen online home. I know. I'm a naive dreamer.

I have wondered if the France are right to hold a Platform owner to account for what and who is allowed to stay on their Platform.
Social Media I suppose is like everything it can be for good, but boy some of them have it been and are really bad right now,

Sure they are.Yes, there should be a high-tolerance on social media for "free speech". I.e. Users should be allowed to say (almost) whatever they want.
That doesn't mean they shouldn't be censured or banned for that.
By platform owners.
Who have no obligation to "free speech" and do have an obligation to safety and moderation.
And this is what Duroc failed to do.
(And also why you should pay your #MastoAdmin )
-
@lyndamerry484 @uc That's the old argument over whether hate speech is free speech. I don't believe it is. If you fascilitate free speech then that is an intentional political act of aggression imho and people need to be called to account for such.
Others may disagree. -
@xdydx Nothing to disagree with there. It's not black and white but safety and moderation a just basic dececency (though some view even that as distasteful these days)

I think many instance admin - I'm not including the massive membership ones here necessarily - do take their responsibilities seriously. After all, they are private servers run by ordinary people who pay the bills, and defederation would be an expensive mistake.
