The fediverse is as if you took X, TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook and made them all interoperable so you could post anything from anywhere, and all your followers would be guaranteed to see it. And if you wanted to leave one platform for another, you could bring all your content, all your followers, all your everything with you.
NO. NO, NO, NO.
That isn't what it fucking is at all! It's not another open standard for five companies to abuse until they're the only sound that you can hear because they're drowning everything else out.
I know they're trying to appeal to the layman but, I dunno, try harder maybe?
Not everything in life is about posturing and followers. The best parts of the fediverse are anonymous and unadulterated by corporate interests and having advertising rammed down your throat every 5 seconds. that's what killed the open web.

Piss in the ocean after the rate went up last month. I almost feel bad for the people who are actively falling into poverty but will somehow still vote tory at the next election. When was that again? We're waiting Rish
That album is absolutely killer and I've loved BN since I heard Try Honesty many moons ago.
That said ... They have been singing about how young people need to fight the system while having one of the most clean, corporate images I can think of for bands in their category.
Watching a 40 year old man dance around an arena in VANs and Atticus hoodies while telling contemporary youth that their generation is a "fucking joke" is peak cringe to me.
Still love the music though. Wish he'd do more heartbreak songs, they're his forte.
