Catholic theology in a protocol blog, why not
Pope Leo XIV published a new encyclical this week, and it contains surprisingly sharp observations on how to build the open social web

@sef @fediversereport @smallcircles Leaves are the reason Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden.
That family was full of conflict, there was even fratricide.

"The fediverse does not need more servers, it needs reasons for them to act like they owe each other something."
This makes it sound a bit like it currently has no such reasons at all. Maybe it could do with more reasons, but it definitely already has some, they're just immaterial and not part of the network architecture. It's the responsibility server admins feel toward their users and the community as a whole.
the stick together part is lacking because there's no general agreement re what fedi is for.
imo there's only one thing it does that no other structure can and it's important at a cultural and civic level and we saw it demonstrated in the early days of Twitter. everyone deciding together what info, ideas and art deserves attention. mostly via human boosts. #DemocracyOfReach
this goal would push us to maximize federation, to focus our moderation on unwanted mentions.
