Maybe these crypto-zealots who scream about decentralization will actually try and build a thriving decentralized media instead of pumping and dumping shitcoins?

The problem is that it's hard to make these things popular.

There are several ActivityPub services that are pretty good and even have decent UXes, but they aren't super active.

A major issue is it's confusing and the funds are limited.

		Yeah. I'm on Lemmy and Mastodon, but it ain't exactly jumping, and I'm sure part of it is definitely the confusion around how to get going and what it is. Lemmy at least is also pretty buggy, and I'm not able to find posts I saw a few hours ago, but ultimately I don't really know what the draw is or even could be for the average user.

		TikTok won because it has an algorithm that works, People are crazy for views and likes, and don’t mind the silliest content, not chronologically ordered posts, which none of the services u mentioned have.

		Federated chat/social always goes back to similar usability and technical problems as email, except with a broader scope so it's even harder

> try and build a thriving decentralized media

This exists today, it has always existed, and you never needed technology to find the solution to it.

Im a huge fan of the film Rope, because it is just done well. Its also got a ton of coding in it for "homosexual" themes that were very much banned at the time of filming. Understanding these paints the film in a whole new way...

Shakespeare has a ton of contemporary satire coded into it. Unless you're aware of history or reading a version that illuminates the meta-context you would very much be unaware of its existence.

It happens in modern film: Paul Verhoeven is a master of it.

If you dont think there are coded communities on existing social platforms sharing information among in members I have news for you.
