 And how many clever #Startups did we see that loudly claimed they'd soon launch the Killer #SocialMedia platform? Only to bitterly fail after a while. #Fediverse went super slowly in how it emerged. It took years. But these years were needed to get a great #culture between fedizens around the world come about. All the while #FOSS principles and values drove software development, and with no monetary incentives, the human side was kept within focus while doing so. We're human-scale.  |

Socio-cultural side is so interesting and often 'wiped under the carpet' when discussions imho overly quickly focus on tech details.
Example is the recent #Nostr vs. #ActivityPub comparisons with (sometimes heated) claims on which #protocol is better than the other, wholly ignoring #social aspects.
On technical merits one protocol may win. But it hasn't established a social foundation yet. E.g. Nostr "censorship resistance" may be technically sound, but how will it affect #culture?
