Today on NovaLandia: "Concurrency in Second Life: Still Breathing, Barely Whispering"

Today, I want to dive into Second Life's so-called "declining" userbase, or at least the endless whispers that the platform *might* be on its last virtual legs. We'll cut through the rumors with some ...

Yes, but that's the old times. Now #VivaldiBrowser's #userBase has increased, as it was #normal, my dear. #Such a #gem can't remain #unknown for too much time…

“Generally a browser's most important thing is their engine.”

Think more, and you'll realise that #Vivaldi is an #exception. It's only #sellingPoint, as I said, is the #UI. There are many other #privacyFocused #browsers, #VivaldiBrowser's #powerfull #features are what keep it #afloat TBH.

"It's somehow fine for them to take the work of others, but this doesn't go both ways? Does this not sound a bit weird to you?"

If they make their work #available to be accessed by anyone, they'll die in the end. #VivaldiTechnologies is a much smaller company compared to #Google and #Mozilla.

"But even with Mozilla actively trying to make Firefox the worst it can be, the debloated forks are nowhere near as popular as the main thing, so your whole argument falls flat in reality."

No, it doesn't, because #FF was released much earlier than V. This means it had much more time to become #popular enough to keep it's #userbase, while Vivaldi wouldn't.

"forks are unlikely to become more popular than the main thing to begin with. They'd have to really fuck shit up to make a fork suddenly take all their marketshare, and at that point its just the market working as intended."

Yes, for more popular browsers. But for new ones, this is not true.

The #LouvreofBluesky, a popular account on #Bluesky, has been #takendown temporarily due to #harassment from an unnamed individual. The account served as a reminder to users of the potential #consequences of their #onlinebehaviour. Its #disappearance is a loss for the platform, as it provided a #uniqueperspective on its #userbase. https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/05/ask-not-for-whom-the-louvre-of-bluesky-tolls-it-tolls-for-thee/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

From 100 people I try to talk to about #privacy, maybe 1 wants to 😅

Many know or suspect the issues with the #corporations collecting their #data but they try their best not to think about it, because they seem to feel helpless against it anyway.

Best way to change minds seems to be - living with privacy and answering questions when people notice your behavior & promoting / supporting alternative #software & #hardware.

#Mastodon has a big #userbase that cares about privacy, glad to be here!

Fewer people are using #ElonMusk’s #X as the platform struggles to attract and keep users, according to analysts
X, sorry it's #Twitter, usage has declined as downloads of Threads have surged in recent weeks. In February, X had 27 million daily active users of its mobile app in the U.S., down 18% from a year earlier. #US #userbase has been flat or down every month since November 2022, the first full month of Musk’s owning the app, and in total it’s down 23% since then https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/fewer-people-using-elon-musks-x-struggles-keep-users-rcna144115

"#tumblr trying to be like #tiktok then trying to be like #twitter then giving us the 3rd unreality inducing immersive ad, its staff members being condescending to the userbase, the #marketing team trying to parasocialize their way into your pockets, #youtube trying to do away with adblockers after upping the percentage of ads by 40% and making it so even if your video is demonetized watchers will still get them, youtube removing the dislike button then making it so you don't get a home feed if you have watch history turned off, #google being able to remove your synched bookmarks if they don't comply with their policy, if i listed every way in which twitter has gotten worse in the last year this post will be as long as a novel, #ai generated articles and images everywhere, google searches sucking ass in general, reddit charging for its api, #KOSA being introduced into the US senate, tiktok in general, every #socialmedia under the fucking sun introducing #login walls, being unable to browse most sites on mobile from the sheer amount of popups taking over your screen WAUUUGH social media being products and thus requiring infinite growth and thus trying to introduce newer and newer shit that #alienates its dedicated #userbase. saturated sludge era of the #internet"

This seems to be a common thread among the #footgun incidents they've been experiencing for years. They don't seem to consider how a product #shutdown, #rename, #launch, major UI #change, or some other action will look from the user's point of view.

Are they just taking the #userbase for #granted? Pure obliviousness? Management incentives that discourage it?

A lot of the time I think I'd like to be a fly on the wall when these decisions are being made.

The classic #trilemma goes: "Fast, cheap or good, pick any two." The Moderator's Trilemma goes, "Large, diverse #userbase; centralized #platforms; don't anger #users—pick any two."
Rozenshtein proposes a solution to the Moderator's Trilemma: federation. De-siloing #socialmedia, breaking it out of centralized #walledgardens and recomposing it as a bunch of small servers run by a diversity of operators with a diversity of content moderation approaches.
