  • Depends on what you consider taking down. The fact that the project is FOSS means anyone who wants to can fork the code, so it would be hard to eliminate one’s ability to get the source code even if the main repos got taken down and the maintainers are detained or killed.

    As to whether they can control the fediverse in a way that allows them to invent reality like they do with mainstream platforms, I could see them trying to compromise admin teams for individual instances. However, unlike mainstream social media, our eggs aren’t all in one basket so to speak. They won’t be able infect the entire platform like they can do with big tech.














  • Some that come to mind:

    • Scaled sort, which takes community size into consideration when looking for top posts
    • User will be able to block instances without the need for their home instance to defederate
    • The new flow for enabling 2FA makes it harder for users to accidentally lock themselves out of their accounts
    • There will be a feed option to just see posts in communities you moderate (as opposed to subscribed, local, and all)
    • Controversial sort
    • You can import and export account settings as JSON, making switching instances easier
