I keep having nostalgic early Twitter feelings about the #forkiverse, and I think it's because of the smallness and smarts of the people here - nobody listens to Hard/Engine who doesn't have two brain cells to rub together. But if the goal is to (in @pj 's words) "take control of social media out of the hands of the Musks and Zuckerbergs," (7:08) can something that stays small and insular manage to do that?

Humans evolved our social skills over ages in small tribes.

Social emotions like shame and embarrassment are for small groups, not big ones. Humans aren’t really designed to interact with a billion strangers, which is why the social media experiment has proven super depressing for almost everybody…

I wonder if this is actually the way? Small federated tribes with access to/awareness of other tribes...
it sure is nice so far! #forkiverse #fediverse

@goodgord @snappyhome @pj for the sake of the argument, aren't small tribes prome to siloism? That alone would make the fediverse much more versatile than a centralized social media.

"You're home, but can go and take a walk around th neighborhood and listen to other siloes"

Needless to say here at the forkiverse I feel home :)
