@thegibson I can't say it's related, but doesn't this quote from the recently released FB emails sound an awful lot like the #fediverse ?
"The number one threat to Facebook is not another scale social network, it is the fracturing of information / death by a thousand small vertical apps which are loosely integrated together,"
@observer @thegibson I think they had something more like a wealth of specialized apps/sites with minimal sharing.... but the fediverse could be an even meaner threat. If we build & federate *novel* apps and social sites, we can hit them right dead in the fears.
Tho we should continue to build replacements for existing platforms/apps.
@observer @thegibson oops, that came out a little ambiguous... "the fediverse could be an even meaner threat" was meant to stand on it's own... an existing possibility, not predicated on building novel apps.
Was aiming to amplify, not "no but" all over it.
