Twitter was once the go-to app for up-to-date news, first-hand accounts and quality journalism on the ground. But over the weekend, as users sought information about the Israel-Hamas conflict, they found platform X flooded with misinformation. So they turned to Threads, as Platformer editor @caseynewton explains for The Verge.
How the attacks in Israel are changing Threads
With Elon Musk destroying X/Twitter’s ability to handle breaking news with legitimacy, Meta’s Threads is starting to prove it can be a coherent platform for breaking news.Casey Newton (The Verge)
Mastodon isn't designed to be niche, but to be what a social network should be, and not an attention broker between captive users and the advertisers.
You think federation enables niches. I see federation more as resilience pattern against single point of failures (e.g.: X's single owner is a single point of failure, plus current owner is a liability).
If what you say is true, then 99% US tech press is an X's captive resource.
I think strict anti algorythmic pose is what makes mastodon unattractive for journalists and celebrities. Popular creators will lose by coming here. Also, users have hard time following many accounts. Lists are not nearly convenient enough. So mastodon actually works best for small communities.
Algorythms are not that harmful when detached from advertising logic. And imho, could be even very productive if users would be allowed to tune them.
I don’t know for sure, but I think “niche” is another way of saying “doesn’t rely on algorithms to suggest and promote content to users”, which is true.
In that sense, it is niche.
It means that the product requires intentional user effort to curate and perform, rather than have that offloaded to the code, which is also true.
Product ecosystems which rely on user effort are “niche”.
I could be wrong, but I think I’m directionally accurate.
