I wonder why is Mastodon is not appealing to Valve.
Bluesky has 20x the user base (and the gap is growing wider every day).
I really enjoy Mastodon, but it seems to be too confusing with all the servers. I don’t know why, but maybe because people have been conditioned by big tech to use centralised services. Especially Gen Z that grew up with this very big tech controlled internet.
They could just put their own instance alive,
not very hard for them, after they shown us what they can do,
They can make the changes happen, they showed us already.
And thoses who wants the feed, just have to subscribe.
Valve is already under fire for Nazi content in fringe parts of Steam Community (warranted or not); I don’t think they want to tackle responsibility of moderating another large social network.
yeah ive seen this, unfortunatelly.
But they could really hire a community manager, a little team of coms, and an enginneer/technician, devoted to theirs socials services.
Thats a no cost for them,
Only benefits,
Yep, I only 3 person IRL who know and uses Forum or Reddit.
Reddit is big tech these days.
Maybe for the tech bubble.Most normies I know know that reddit exists but peimarily scroll on insta.
"Why is Mastodon is not"
Basic grammar hard, apparently.
You could point out typos and mistakes without being condescending.
Valve ceo built a billion dollars mega yacht fleet off selling proprietary games through a proprietary third party launcher. A free and open source decentralized platform does not appeal to them for obvious reasons.
