@noracodes This is a great article! Thanks for writing it. I learned a lot.

I’d probably disagree on a few minor points, and add some nuance to others. But this is definitely a Very Good Text about community-based social media. ❤️

Thanks @rysiek for sharing

@rysiek @noracodes A great article about the language around "the fediverse". Need to chew on it more for further thoughts, but thanks for sharing it!

🥥 Thank YOU Michal for highlighting this engaging article by Nora.
I read it with great interest and found myself hearing about and discovering a lot of things and facts that were new to me.
It also lead me down a rabbit trail of links followed for the rest of the afternoon.
Thank YOU Nora for taking the time and effort to write it. 🥥

@rysiek thanks. Loved this:
“people on the outside attribute malice too broadly to the entire network, while people on the inside attribute malice too narrowly to a few individuals or, at most, a few servers”
And this:
“”The Fediverse” needs to end, and I don’t think anything should replace it. Speak instead about communities, and prioritize the strength of those communities. Speak about the way those communities interact, and don’t; the way they form strands and islands and gulfs.”

@rysiek @noracodes thank you, this is a useful contribution.

Thanks for this. It's a good rendering of the situation. I think the truth is that some people don't want to communicate. They just want to pontificate. And if you don't fall in line with their expectations, you're to be demonized. Also, there's the self-appointed police who report rather than block. The last point is reading comprehension. A lot of people can read, but they lack the requisite comprehension skills to understand what they are reading.

The Fediverse is dead. Long live ghe Fediverse!
