Dave Lane (OERu)This is a userful tree :) - https://axbom.com/fediverse/ - the graphic doesn't provide links to the various 'federated' technologies (via ActivityPub), but the links to those (and more) are provided in the text. Worth a read for those still trying to get their heads around the shape and size of the 'Fediverse'.
The many branches of the Fediverse
As more and more people are asking me about Mastodon I felt a need for a picture to point at, showcasing how the software known as Mastodon fits into the much larger concept of the Fediverse. I made this infographic to help myself and others explain the many different use-cases

On the role of suspense and surprise.
"We see our world as having two planes: There’s where we exist, and then there is everything we want, which is all sitting pressed up against the thin simulacrum of electrons separating us. A request means that whatever we need right now must burst through instantaneously."

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant is as Deadly as Previous Waves - Lemmy
Researchers studies 130, 000 records of individuals who were hospitalised or who died in the US. Then they studied the association between omicron strain and the deaths/hospitalisations after adjusting for the effects of vaccination but not treatment. The evidence is intuitive: omicron is as deadly …

It took me 33 thousand tweets over 15 years and ~5000 following others in Twitter to have about 1800 "followers"; and about 20 of them do really "interact" with me, that too, not regularly. Everyone is busy pushing their own thoughts on the #birdsite. Contrast, in #mastodon, I spent an irregular four years, and lately about a week. The interactivity and level of conversation is so rich that I cannot even compare my experience in #birdsite anymore.
#fediverse is WAY AHEAD of any other social media experience. You have to be in here to experience the richness!
#fediverse is WAY AHEAD of any other social media experience. You have to be in here to experience the richness!
My one week of playing in the #fediverse seriously since giving up (practically) on #birdsite, I realised how diverse, rich, and engaging a social medium can be if you federate it. Comparing this with any other form where the network topology may be complex and dense, but regardless of whether they are central (e.g., Facebook/Twitter), or decentralised (P2P say Aether/SSB protocols/Peepeth), it is that, federation makes a big difference in the diversity and richness of experience. The fact that you can draw in #pixelfed, #peertube, #bookwyrm, AND #mastodon #pleroma #misskey all in the same feed makes for an amazingly rich experience. It is also intuitive to create communities with @a.gup.pe . Mind blowingly good. PLUS, yes, there are users here. A lot more interactive than any other site.
