Folks, the Twitter you’ve been waiting for has just been created by @Gargron – please join me there.
https://mastodon.social
is working on TOS/PP for his instance. But let’s not judge decentralised/free/open alternatives by centralised standards

Agreed, but the fundamental issue is not centralization per se but user control over data harvesting profiteering. @Gargron
-
Centralised: they have your data to begin with, you beg “please, sir, be kind” Decentralised: you have the data and control
-
“they have your data to begin with” - that’s why I closed my tab on your site without signing up.
-
Fair enough. With this system, you have *the option* (currently difficult) of owning your own data. With Twitter, etc. you don’t.
-
Absolutely, that option is important. I don’t mean to give you a hard time but Diaspora went down this road before but not far enough.
