I feel like the reason , and the at large, aren't taking off has to do with the fact that they're actually social networks. People don't seem to want a social network, they want content platforms. People aren't using or or to keep up with their friends these days, they're using these apps to entertain themselves. And since and every other platform that used to be a social network began pivoting toward content promotion, I think society has forgotten what a social network is supposed to actually be anymore.

    @SamXavia I think your friend is a looney conspiracy theorist

    Just found out that the Mastodon instance that my favorite artist uses (AFAIK*) defederated Kbin/Lemmy instance that I'm currently using. As a result, I think I can't follow this artist. I kinda understand that defederation is important, but... the problem is I don't think the instances I am using did anything wrong. But then again, even the line of what's considered "doing anything wrong" is really subjective, depends on who you asked.

    Also, I now understand even more about the drama few days ago about beehaw

    *I saw the server list on the Mastodon instance about page, and it listed as "Suspended", I wonder what this means

    Jerry ,

    @stackPeek You are currently on kbin.social so I assume kbin.social has been suspended (a.k.a. de-federated or blocked) from that server. On Mastodon, "Suspended" means totally blocked. You cannot follow anyone, they cannot follow you. All communication, including API requests, are blocked.

    A Mastodon instance blocking kbin.social, is, to me, irrational behavior by the Admin and an extreme disservice to those on the server.

    Can you share the name of the Mastodon instance?
