    I wonder why is Mastodon is not appealing to Valve.

      I really enjoy Mastodon, but it seems to be too confusing with all the servers. I don’t know why, but maybe because people have been conditioned by big tech to use centralised services. Especially Gen Z that grew up with this very big tech controlled internet.

        They could just put their own instance alive,
        not very hard for them, after they shown us what they can do,
        They can make the changes happen, they showed us already.

          Valve is already under fire for Nazi content in fringe parts of Steam Community (warranted or not); I don’t think they want to tackle responsibility of moderating another large social network.

            yeah ive seen this, unfortunatelly.
            But they could really hire a community manager, a little team of coms, and an enginneer/technician, devoted to theirs socials services.

            Thats a no cost for them,
            Only benefits,

      “Why is Mastodon is not”

      Basic grammar hard, apparently.

      Valve ceo built a billion dollars mega yacht fleet off selling proprietary games through a proprietary third party launcher. A free and open source decentralized platform does not appeal to them for obvious reasons.
