Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

An Animated Introduction to Albert Camus’ Existentialism, a Philosophy Making a Comeback in Our Dysfunctional Times

Ok - #unplugged Twitter schon vor Jahren, WhatsApp auch, bei Facebook steht mein inaktives Profil kurz vor der Lösuchng.

Was heißt das für mich?

ich vermisse Facebook auch nach knapp einem Jahr, seit ich es nicht mehr nutze immer noch. Ich habe dort Menschen kennengelernt in Gruppen (ohne Hass und Hetze) .. davon ist mir das meiste verloren gegangen.

Ich möchte Menschen kennenlernen.

Boosten für Reichweite erwünscht.

and you guys need to stop criticizing people who build search indexes.

literally every fediverse server also acts as one, and if you are so worried about privacy, perhaps a public focused protocol like this isn't the best option.

we need to do better if we want people to actually join and keep using this, the few loud voices that argue against progress must be ignored if we want to be taken seriously.

so we must build 🚀

You attached a code-generating firehose to your dev plumbing, and measured the pressure of the water going in to be 10x what it was before.

So you can’t understand why the business is complaining that they’re not getting the power shower you promised them.

Also, why are the carpets so wet?

The explanation is actually quite simple.

I see the #fedi announcement by a commercial marketing agency of a venture capital based app store joining the fediverse.

Is the #fediverse we have capable of avoiding #enshittification as it grows and attracts an increasing number of corporations, who make it their market?

Is our #ActivityPub landscape resistant to corporate capture and eventual takeover and domination? Just like the Corporate Web, also decentralized.

There are nice niches on the web, like a bloggosphere, bulletin boards, and news readers, that all still exist. But web as a whole is predominantly corporate, arguably not commons based, for the people by the people.

Social experience design defines "commons based" as "where people are in control of their future on a path of healthy evolution and natural growth". A core principle is being sustainable at all times, and timely acknowledge and mitigate risks.

Is fediverse commons based? Did we cocreate the Future of Social networking?
