But yeah, its not ideal …

Ok, you are right. Its not a separate species. So call it homo sapiens-digitalis and yeah, some people are kind of already there.

Altough in terms of digital agency, I think we could still go a long way.

web10? webX? I like web4 because people already can categorize it.

Well its mostly a matter of taste. There should also be a vote

I don’t think its naiv. I think its more realistic. I like most about the article that it puts the activitypub-protocol front and center. This is mainly what made me view the fediverse differently. And that therefore power dynamics will probably shift in the next years away from Mastodon.

Actually, there is something like this called Fedivision :D

That’s SO funny :D Never heard of this

The first one was misleading

There is a eurovision song context, where each country of europe makes one song for. There is a vote. One country wins. Huge fun. Now, if we would do the same thing for the fediverse: which song would you chose?

Totally agree. It would be cool to have some variant of our own that we can share with the world.

I think it shouldnt ban companies per se. But yeah, if its all build up on open source software and a more healthy culture it will all be for the better. Thats why I wrote “better” silicon valley

I think the joinlemmy is currently worked on

Interesting that you mention open souce shared universes. I mean, at the end of the day, all of these become public domain anyways. The problem is that it takes way too long.

But for example with “lord of the rings”, it will someday be available to the public and then things will get interesting, especially with AI these days …

message boards

But thats what Mastodon does effectively. Then Lemmy would be another micro blogging service in the fediverse

What is still distinguishing them from Disney, Amazon and the like is their international productions with local film makers. Lets see how that will turn out in the next years …

Yeah ok. Before the streaming wars.

Its peer-to-peer, right? How do they handle moderation in there?

Just looked up what FANG means - what the hell does Netflix in there? Seriously Netflix doesn’t do shit. Typical case of forced acronyms ;)

Without the fediverse a viable non-surveilled internet might not be able to exist.

I would agree. Mastodon made search opt-in. There will always be communities and users that refuse to be searchable and that should be fine.

No, each service is a service, regardless of whether its a company or a community or a single user. The idea is that it is a center of innovation for FOSS.
