It was a limited scale action to show the impact possible. If reddit indeed won't move it could become indefinitely. /r/ffxiv already wanted to move it to a week or indefinitely.

It is so far a slightly different situation. First it gets revenue directly by the users instead of advertisers. This changes everything at a fundamental level.
Second, the type of community is much different. The communities using the full feature set are generally limited in scale one way or another. The issues with Facebook, Twitter and reddit arose also because there is a gigantic userbase which interacts with each other. Toxic policies are more likely to be forcefully accepted due to the massive social inertia.
Type of content hits differently. As a lot of communication is real time, or moment to moment, there is less lost value if things go haywire. Now this absolutely does not apply for servers which directly act as a forum replacement run by the companies themselves. Some use it as a website replacement for some reason which is also a terrible idea.
I think a future migration will be a lot more fluent and less hurtful overall. The moves away from TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, Skype were never impactful. With the monetization model I also view it as less probable.
Depends on SEO and ActivityPub. I could see a dystopian future where the Silicon Valley refuses to improve on this use case, to push monolithic social media forward, which would also be in the interest of authoritarian governments.
That some will use the same username which can then be found on OnlyFans is fine. What is not fine is the way it works on FetLife. Women make a low quality post how incredibly horny they are, it gets upvoted and the whole ploy is to redirect you to their business. Primarily rules need to be focused to disable that.
Just because they at least did Q&A, means not much.
/r/crackwatch was very useful for that. New Denuvo releases won't be cracked fast.
There is a good chance users will flock to the biggest one and we won't have the doubling issue.
I like it in general and think it has a chance to stay, however I feel it needs a bunch more work than Mastodon, which works close to a full release, except the oddity the Elk Alpha client doesn't have a report button, but is better than the default.
I am wowed by the amount of information.
I dislike the default Mastodon interface and use Elk instead.
Every game discussion. Starting roughly 24h after a game's release until decades later.
Likely there is no way yet. Even the clean way to link back to your instance will throw an error, if the previous connection was not yet made.
