Meta’s Decentralized Twitter Competitor
Elon is still figuring out what he wants to do with Twitter.
Plus, all the gafs and downtime is blood in the water that is attracting the sharks.
Meta has seized this opportunity to announce that they are building a decentralized, text-only social media platform.
Decentralized means that it will be a bit like Mastodon, which is a federation of independent servers. No single entity will own all of the servers.
That’s a great idea in theory, as no single entity can shut them down.
But, there is no single governing body either. And each server owner may be able to set their own rules of engagement.
Plus, what if a server owner drops off the planet? Not all of them will have a contingency plan in place.
I looked into Mastodon and reported on it in a Tips Tuesday a few months ago. It has its place. But I can’t see that it is a good fit for bloggers to promote directly to followers. But, if you get most of your followers by participating in Facebook groups or the like, then maybe you should check into Mastodon.
This is just one of the site success tips you’ll find in the BlogAid Tips Tuesday for March 14 https://bit.ly/42d11sL
