Here and there we see people earning and losing career over Twitter, Facebook posts, even if illusionary, it makes news.

When would Mastodon, Lemmy posts get enough traction to get into news?

Unlike them, Reddit has zero credibility, but still has many articles about it and internal reddit dramas.

Where would we as a fediverse reach the point ArsTech and others would refer to our post and comments as a proof of something?

We have a wet dream of them all relocating from X-itter to free platforms and self-hosting, but the first breaking point would be if they refer to us like we are real. When and how it would be? I don’t know.

      Discord is really rough. Bot armies, tons of trolls, many disturbed individuals posting gore and trauma dumping on others. I have run a couple discord servers and moderated some more. Its not fun, really. We‘ll see how matrix pans out in the future but so far, the amount of sickos seems to go down.

          Jeez! Thats top of the line disgusting. I cant say I have seen this level of deranged but only moderating a bunch of youth and a couple adults while your fellow mods are part of the problem gets tiring fast. untreated personality disorders seem very prevalent on discord an I both pity the folks having to live with them and despise the fact others get traumatized by those folks behavior.

            The moment I realized I never wanted to moderate a Discord server was the first time I heard a Darth Dawkins debate on YouTube.

                The single most insufferable person I have ever had the displeasure of hearing communicate verbally in my three decades of life on this planet.

                I’m not sure if you’re interested in the atheist debate sphere at all, if you are then you should give him a listen. He’s a Catholic apologist and presuppositionalist who debates on Discord.

                Be warned though, he is fucking awful. If you listen to him debate for more than 30 minutes in one sitting you’re liable to suffer psychological trauma. He’s that bad, not kidding.
