We're running out of words for how shitty things are getting:
- "enshittification": quality degrades over time
- mask-off?: turns out they were fascists (or sympathisers) all along, and they've stopped pretending
- enclosure?: thought you were safe with an open-source alternative? Many are on the same late-stage-capitalism hamster wheel. Bitwarden is now private-equity owned and has scrubbed "always free" from its site. At least it can still be forked... fastcompany.com/91542655/bit...
Shared infrastructure is how the #Fediverse can grow without recreating enshittified platform silos.
We’re excited to share that Bonfire is working with Mastodon on two critical areas of Fediverse infrastructure: remote media storage and automated content detection.
Built around open Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider (FASP) specifications, this work will help platforms connect to shared services instead of each having to build and operate the same capabilities alone.
Our aim is to make these capabilities open, interoperable, and available for any federated server to adopt.
A big thank you to @Mastodon@mastodon.social team for involving us in this work. We’re looking forward to building together and sharing what we learn along the way.

test consensus check
@urlyman@mastodon.social Completely agree with your larger point though! We've got a long way to go. As you can see from our hosting page we'd love to see more of an ecosystem around hosting of FOSS, both with better UI and simpler onboarding (i.e. a step by step form that gets you from domain name to deployed app, as simple as signing up to SaaS but with autonomous infrastructure) and more cooperative economic models.
@urlyman@mastodon.social Please see my other reply. We'll try to make our website clearer, but in the meantime the friendly entry points are the co-ops who can do it for you if you're not technical, and while they have websites it's really about getting in touch with them rather than reading any documentation:
