That last part though. The fact that identity isn’t federated sucks.

You’re gonna need a bigger knife

I have no idea what you’re talking about

Good luck winning that car!

not a social network

Beehaw.org wants to be your friend federate

You are now friends federated with Beehaw.org!

I publicly called out a user whose photo was on the front page of a local publication for racking up over $10,000 in unpaid red light tickets (at about $75 per offense).

He threatened to sue me in response. The cognitive dissonance 😂

Oh, you know.

tips appreciated

I see what you did there

Hell no. This is the honeymoon phase. This is great!

Sure, discoverability isn’t the best. There are lots of bugs. Things are confusing. Federation issues are an inconvenience.

But you know what else is missing?

The spammers aren’t here. The trolls aren’t here. The propagandists from the East aren’t here trying to spread misinformation or sway elections. The bots aren’t here manipulating the front page or comments. The corporations and marketers aren’t here trying to sell products or steer discourse. There isn’t CSAM or targeted harassment or doxxing. Most governments are probably not here. And it doesn’t matter if He Gets Us because He’s Not Here.

Everything is too new and too novel and too ephemeral to have been picked up by the people that are going to cause the “big boy” social network problems. And that’s great, because the moderation tools at present would not be up to the task, and the legal teams are non-existent.

When the threadiverse crosses a certain threshold, Bad Things are going to happen. And those growing pains are going to be much worse than the ones we’re experiencing right now.
