weird article on the front page of esquire about twitter vs #mastodon that doesn’t understand even the basic premise of the #fediverse and misses out entirely on the nature of why lots of small self hosted nodes are stronger then one centralized capitalist blob but alas you have to start somewhere. I have a feeling we are gonna get another wave soon. also a little shoutout to #diaspora in there.

@darius @wakest on a more serious note, some might see this inability of the mainstream media to understand Fediverse as a problem.
I see it as an opportunity. We can use whatever titles we want to sound "serious" and whatever buzzwords to sound "bleeding-edge" or "innovative".
Sure, Gargamel as a CEO sounds silly. But calling all the admins of the Fediverse "Board Members" would potentially be a useful hack to give them platform in mainstream media.
@darius @wakest oh sure, but then we can say "yeah, thing is, this is not a company and works differently; this is not as much of a problem"
But we can do it *then* instead of worrying about it *now*. *Now* we can hack the system with language.
I did similar things many times and from my experience it can be very effective.
