I ran it on my home server just to play with it. It’s very nice, but the main problem is with adoption. I’m a metalhead and I attend a lot of concerts in my city and asked friends if they’d be interested in having this kind of server and ditch facebook and they ALL said no, “because it’s not convenient” :-(
I was shocked to see that there are no English-language Mobilizon servers.
Well, Mobilizon is made by a French open source collective (Framasoft), so it’s very popular in France, but also in Germany and other european countries.
Trending shit is what brought us to the present moment: with facebook and twitter (I refuse to call it x) and tiktok and all the others pushing lots of shit and lots of other shit to the great enshittification of the internet and our lives. So, no, we don’t need trends. We need social interaction the way it’s supposed to be.
Piracy is not breaking the law. Fuck capitalism!
