#yearofdecentralization — Public Fediverse posts

That said, we should really insist more on teaching how to use computers in schools. With computers you create, with smartphones you consume.
I agree. But I do believe that if you want to you use technology more and more in the modern world, you can’t dumb down the computer system, you have to educate the populist
The ability to read and write is inseparable with escaping corporate slavery.

I agree, especially because we can have both:
Simple, accessible programs and advanced programs. Everyone can be happy (at least when we are free to create alternatives and not limited by proprietary stuff)
Likewise we can have both simple accessible AND advanced books; at least when they aren’t deliberately obfuscated to maintain proprietariness. #YearOfTheFediverse #YearOfDecentralization .

what exactly IS it going to take for people to abandon that wretched platform ?

In computer graphics, double buffering is a technique for drawing graphics that shows no (or less) stutter, tearing, and other artifacts. It is difficult for a program to draw a display so that pixels do not change more than once. For instance, when updating a page of text, it is much easier to clear the entire page and then draw the letters than to somehow erase only the pixels that are used in old letters but not in new ones. However, this intermediate image is seen by the user as flickering.

It’s easier to do something fun and new on a new website than to try and do something old on a new website.

trapped in a discussion on the wrong topic

The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis states that “language pre-determines thought”.

This article notes that Fediverse promotion seems to fail because it’s too developer-centric instead of user-centric.

“Decentralization”, perhaps, is another vocabulary word that means too much to developers and too little to users. #YearOfDecentralization! #YearOfTheFediverse!
