This take is annoying.
But it's also not entirely @gruber's fault because the media doesn't really talk about the Fediverse, and when they do, it's as a synonym for "Mastodon".
How would @gruber know about the massive development efforts to build more user-friendly alternatives to Mastodon?
No one in the media talks about the growth of *key apps, and how they're now the #2 most used Fediverse platform.
That story isn't being told.
@atomicpoet @j_bertolotti I personally love the design here by the way.
It would be interesting to hear from folks who aren't familiar with the Fediverse whether or not this kind of stuff makes sense though.
As I was saying before, it's harder to market the network.
'Connected to the Fediverse' I imagine would be ambiguous to people who don't know what it is. It could be easy to draw the conclusion that you can 'Log in with Mastodon, PixelFed, etc' rather than what it's really describing.
Hi @BenjaminNelan @atomicpoet @j_bertolotti!
This screenshot got me interested, but for some reason I cannot load the whole thread… could you tell me where it comes from?
@tommi
The thread in the screenshot is from the calckey.org project homepage that details how the platform works.
