AnilWhen it came time to reckon with social media’s failings, nobody ran to the “web3” platforms. Nobody asked “can I get paid per message”? Nobody asked about the blockchain. The community of people who’ve been quietly doing this work for years (decades!) ended up being the ones who welcomed everyone over, as always.
Shawn Hooper (he/him) 🇨🇦@anildash For many I've spoken to, like me, who were finding community online before the big social media networks, this feels like a return to the online networks we grew up with - even before the Internet. I've never seen so many excited by the services the Fediverse can offer, without the commercial things that makes social media so toxic.
