It's great that for every social media behemoth, there's a Fediquivalent but I worry that by mapping those existing silo products we're missing a huge opportunity. We could with the fediverse exploit the very breadth of federation and the richness of opportunities both in those proven silos but also in the gaps between them. Imagine being able to have guilds, with members with organized skills, reputations, qualifications, that cross-cut the more prosaic and functional areas currently on offer (likes, friends, photos, videos, jobs, etc). Let's add genuine emergent value that people want and can use and which they can't get in the current products. This image shows, stick oriented, how people can escape commercial exploitation but doesn't offer compelling carrot oriented reasons why the Fediverse is MUCH better.

I wish I couldake it to the conf
