You know why I hate Mastodon and Bluesky? They pretend to be an alternative to Big Tech platforms, but these "alternatives" are walled gardens, just like the Big Tech platforms. Neither on Bluesky nor on Mastodon can you search content without an account. If you don't have an account, you don't get any search results. Totally hypocritical.

>hypocritical
nah, it's perfectly rational
these platforms exist specifically because open platforms keep demonstrating the tragedy of the commons, because users have no stake in maintaining quality
exactly like on furchin

this has nothing to do with walled gardens and everything to do with AIjeets raping every server on the internet with their scraper bots

Its the era of AI data harvesting and all websites are vulnerable to it
just deal with accs unless you want a website with nothing worth stealing on it

4chan killed its search function too because of AI scrapers and doxxers looking for old posts.

The good reason to hate them is because they don’t have any sort of “I don’t give a shit about your petty drama I just want to see everything.” Master server list so I can just use it exactly like the non shitty alternatives .

Mastodon is not a freedom project. It's the perfect trap.People think they've built "their own little world" with their own rules. In reality, they've voluntarily locked themselves into a tiny cage that fits them perfectly.Every instance is a pen for a specific type of human: the perpetually outraged, the eternally offended, the pronoun cops, the edgelords: all neatly separated, all perfectly predictable.500 characters aren't enough for thoughts, but they're perfect for feelings. Every post is a little scream, a stamp: "This is me now." You chop yourself into smaller and smaller identity crumbs. The network eats them all.There's no boss, no central censor. The users police each other... and think that's freedom. That's the most brilliant control of all: the herd guards itself.When someone switches instances, they think they're escaping. They're just handing over even more precise data about themselves. The net gets tighter, more custom-fitted.In the end, no one is left.
Only the avatars keep posting.
The network speaks through dead profiles.
And everyone thinks it's cozy.

4chan is also a walled garden, for example, you can't speak good about jews or black people here, it's just the opposite side, the classic blue vs red, black vs white, yada yada

Who fucking cares. Twitter is the largest, it is the de-facto 'town square' or marketplace of ideas or whatever the fuck you want to call it. You might not like it, but it is a mirror reflecting all of us. It's the place where you can 'Follow' basically any public figure or institution. From the Ministry of Defense of every major nation in the world to your local high school principle, Twitter/X is it. Regardless of how shit it is, the fact that it's privately owned by Elon Musk or anything else. Bluesky and Mastodon are just pretenders for fringe-dwelling malcontents. That is not to say there is not quality content to be found there, as on any website, but we know why most people make accounts there. It's part of culture war bs.
