is the powerful war rig in the army against the axis of biased social networks; is the little buffoon back there in the rearguard, playing their old-fashioned lute and making silly jokes.

        @grunfink For what it’s worth I believe the small buffoon & all other middle-sized clowns play a very important role in the battle.

        The more I look at it, the more I feel that minimalism & most of all cost effectiveness is a central weapon against corporate control.

        They’re making FB & Instagram free on your cell’s 4G while direct human information exchange has to be paid. Any effort at minimalism reduces the gap between access to the voice of billionaires and access to ours.

          Totally agree. Low-resource-hungry software is essential in this battle (and in many others).

            @santiago@masto.lema.org @grunfink@comam.es yes, I use snac because it's easy to install, low-ressource, easy to backup, ideal for self-instance, for a small group of people. And because I want to own my data.

              I migrated from Mastodon to snac and am enjoying it quite a bit. Thank you!

                  @grunfink snac is an example of how the Fediverse should be: sustainable, easy to run and compile, free from dependencies.

                    It's also part of what seems broken over in the Bluesky world: sure, it's "federated", but only if you have a huge investment in infrastructure.

                    From Bryan Newbold's defense of atproto¹, "Our design goal is not to run the entire network on small instances…This architecture facilitates big-world indices…Such indices are not cheap at scale!"

                    But I want my federation to be so affordable that anybody can get a domain-name, spin up a $1/month VPS instance², and participate in the fediverse. Things like snac make the completely feasible. So thanks, @grunfink!
