  • The Youtube algorithm that pushes videos (and thus advertisement income) is very opague and there is a kind of mystic cargo cult by many creaters on Youtube trying to game it (but they usually end up being manipulated by Google instead). Suggestions to move outside of this cult is often met with a lot of hostility as they don’t want to endanger their imagined connection with the algorithmic gods.




  • Having experience with running both, I would recommend GoToSocial instead 😅

    Akkoma isn’t too heavy, but the setup is a bit convoluted and there is almost no support what so ever if you run into problems.

    Hubzilla has interesting features, but use as an AP fediverse instance is an afterthought at best. It kinda works, but if that is the part you are most interested in, I would not use Hubzilla for it.








  • Well… there has been some recent museings about something like that from the CEO of Element, but it would effectively cause a two class federation where some servers can not work independently of others (likely in reality mainly servers running on EMS infrastructure, a bit like how in Bluesky you can’t really work fully independent of their infra, and yes Bluesky was explicitly mentioned as inspiration for that idea).

    Having those two options fully independent would basically mean reimplenting xmpp in json as an incompatible alternative protocol and that would make little sense IMHO.

    While Synapse isn’t great, the problem is that the Matrix protocol is over-designed for a very specific purpose (distributed rooms), that comes with a severe performance penalty but most people don’t actually need this for chat.

    Its one of these cases of a neat idea on paper, but ultimately a solution looking for a problem.

    That said, Matrix isn’t that bad overall, but there are better options like XMPP.
