Whatever the result in, I wish there won’t be over-moderation that too Western-centric.

Not all swastika are Nazi (I live in a country where swastika is simply symbol of religion and peacefulness). Not all words that too similar with offending word in English are bad (some games literally banned Indonesian for having “nasi goreng” as their name, too similiar with Nazi they said.)

Every social media is collective of thousands of social bubbles.

While I advocating for federated SNS, I personally rarely encounter any toxicity on internet except when I interact with westerner (especially Americans). I carefully choose who I follow and interact, and the algorithm are trained with my interaction to put content that not toxic and relevant to me.

On fediverse alone, I have multiple account that delivers entirely different social experience. My English mastodon.social account that just slightly touch Western politics are thousands times toxic. Even my personal regional political discourse feed on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook are not as toxic as Western politics on fediverse.

Discover shows lib-ass posts even if you didn’t select politics or news as interests, so fuck that.

I don’t see any of that… Maybe that’s because regional thingy? Different region, different recommendation?

Instead of being “bad,” I consider ActivityPub as not being mature yet.

Other internet protocol like HTTP or email are also really basic on its early inception, but it later adding so many features and capabilities to be more modern and flexible.

Give it enough time, and ActivityPub will be mature enough for varied use cases.

At least for Japanese users, they want to see content they love from creators relevant to them. Creators = illustrator, comic artist, photographer, cosplayer, writer, etc.

Creators want a stable platform that allows them to widen their reach and potentially making more money.

Mastodon at the moment are tend to be hostile against creators that wants to monetize their work. Not to forget, the creator you want to follow are on defederated or blocks your instance for random admin drama.

But hey, at least fediverse software like Misskey actually trying to serve these community. Like allowing community ads (like promoting indie comics, vtuber, or social event) and trying to be stable by resolving any potential instance problem together with zero drama. Misskey community also often have tendency to “decoupling from Western tech supremacy”

I recall it was just student that do script attack.

Some Misskey instance like Misskey.design, Misskey.io, and Misskey.id also got their attack several months ago.

It even reach mainstream news outlet: https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/20/spam-attack-on-twitter-x-rival-mastodon-highlights-fediverse-vulnerabilities/

Sadly, most of English instance use Misskey-fork, which tends to be discontinued after a while…

Not even trying to contribute back to Misskey, especially as they desperately need more English contributor.

Japanese-oriented fediverse software, like Mastodon but more fun (like custom emoji reaction, groups, and games).

Adding random information regarding Misskey. Misskey is specifically created to tackle Japanese internet culture and its own interpretation of fediverse.

For example, Misskey software allow the instance owner to run ads (usually community ads like promoting indie games, open for art illustration, or vtuber) while Western-made fediverse software are anti-ads.

Misskey also allows a lot of fun feature like social games, blogs, groups, emoji reaction, Misskey-flavored Markdown (people are getting wild with it).

It also have drive, which allow user to reuse existing uploaded image without using additional server storage.

Also, fun achievements!

Regarding the interface: Krita is heavily designed to match artist workflow around the world. Here’s the complexity:

Different region, ages, and level of professionality have entirely different of common/standard app.

A lot of comic artist or illustrator that delves in anime/manga/ACG style in Asia use Clip Studio Paint as their main software. People from Western gaming industry often used Photoshop or Procreate. Teenager in Asia often use ibisPaint. PaintToolSAI for lightweight and customizable interface. There’s Rebelle for replicating traditional realistic painting.

Krita tried to cater to all of these people, not just “Photoshop users” that mostly just for image editing.

limit their size or the volume allowed per user

Fedi software like Misskey already did exactly that. Each user have limited “drive” which can be upgraded/customized per user. People even reuse image they already have on their drive, so it won’t be any duplicate files.

Drive, Email, Calendar, and Password Manager…?

It also the only FOSS YT-based music player that actually support ruby text lyrics for Japanese.

no way a nananiji idolposting on lemmy 😳😳

TIL there’s Malaysian Lemmy instance called “monyet” nice name

Another reminder that we need to keep Crunchyroll from operating in SEA market.

We enjoy our anime being available on several platform at the same time. Whether it was on Netflix, Bilibili, Muse YouTube, or regional smaller platform.

Japan actually have a lot of independent PC game store, like DLsite and DMM.

Vtuber also popularize new generation to PC gaming, especially for competitive and social games. Not to forget, so many PC-only games sold in Japan store exclusive due to culturak differences.

The actual answer is Vtuber.

Vtuber playing a lot of PC-only games or modding acene, making people get inteoduced to PC gaming.

There is an actual industry analyst, but I forgot the source.
