If it’s like the subreddit, it’s owned by the Sitecore company (CMS software) and they post a constant flow of updates.
So yes to everything except the bot part

QGIS and OpenStreetMap for mapping

I think the content level has gotten better even in the past few days.
I predict at ~200,000 users, there will be a good enough flow of posts and comments that it won’t feel as empty compared to Reddit.
I had to make sure I didn’t somehow write this in my sleep or something, it’s word-for-word exactly what I’ve been thinking for the past few years.
Many subs are solely focused on generating outrage, hate, anger, being infuriated, and just general discontent. Baiting people with strawmen of groups they dislike, obviously fake tweets/exchanges to get people riled up, etc.
Although none of this is particularly new, /r/fatpeoplehate, /r/____inAction, and other straight up racist subs were vicious to the point of some being banned years ago.
But now it’s more of a general ragebait machine that creeps onto /r/all regularly and can take over any subreddit completely without proper moderation.
Yes I think about Hacker News, which isn’t technically sophisticated nor does it have a massive userbase (a little less than 1 million registered accounts).
It manages to have a steady stream of content and an active commenting base
That might also happen. But at least we will all have AI lawyers to help get us out of parking tickets
AI advancements will hopefully unlock a lot of services that only the rich can currently afford
Most lower income people may skip getting ad hoc legal counsel, personal fitness trainers/nutritionists, party planners, financial advisors, etc.
But if AI allows for even halfway decent substitutes, these services could become affordable for everyone.
I would rather slowly choke to death
Mastodon really runs on direct post engagement, especially boosts, to make the whole thing work without an algorithm
It’s very similar to tumblr in that a boost is supposed to function like a like/upvote to spread content, since no automated algorithm is going to suggest that post for you.
But I’m sure people are also trying to grow their networks quick, since it’s sort of a hollow experience without it
