    Between Tim’s years running #Indieweb.social and Sean’s decade-plus chronicling the distributed web at #WeDistribute, we’ve watched these problems persist longer than we’d like to admit.”

    Its almost like businesses and the media don't want people to know about #TheFediverse...

    Oh, sure, this faux-federated, digital ID-gated company owned service will work, though. It'll be ethical this time. Truely ethical ads. Truely ethical surveillance capitalism. Truely "canadian" infrastructure that will mysteriously not work when its us equivalent goes offline.

    Sure.

    How much does the AT infra cost again?

    Great job, y'all.

People arguing about moderation and community building often have fundamentally differing visions for the political economy of #theFediverse, but those differences never get unpacked, so people end up talking past each other.”

There is no form of #federatedDiplomacy, or even a mental framework on how servers should interact, besides #defederation when you get too annoyed with another server.”

    An image of a man shouting into a very bored looking woman's ear. There is text implying that he is saying, "You should be on the Fediverse". A thought bubble from the woman reads 'But I'm not a police officer'.

    And no, technical explanations do not help. I know they're well meant, but they're doing more harm than good.”
