Please, no, not yet another open and federated social media platform that is in fact not much more than an endless feed of bots posting and reposting twitter posts and rss feeds. The internet can't take much more of those.

I wanted these platforms to succeed, I've had an account and tried using most of them - Diaspora, Friendica, Red Matrix, someothermatrixIdontrememberthenameof, Mastodon, identica/statusnet, ... They're all the same. (I'm sure I'm forgetting at least one or two, but they all blend together.)

More of a Twitter alternative than a Facebook alternative.
