Remember The Well? Pioneering on-line community, still around after almost 40 years.

This week and next, it will host an on-line discussion on the #Fediverse and #indieweb.

Glad to be part of it, together with @evan, @manton, @KevinMarks and @herestomwiththeweather. It's hosted by Jon Lebowsky, best known (to me at least) by doing the annual State of the World panel, also on the Well, with @bruces.

I'll post a link once the thread is public. With these panelists, it should be interesting!!

As with Echo in NYC, I hope that there's still that shell/dialup community happening.

That's great! Is the #well considering federating? At the risk of being old, I remember when the WELL was discussing whether to federate with the Internet (what, 1994?)

Some people thought it might ruin the then-thriving WELL. And I think they may have been right!!

The topic will be very interesting, but this looks like five white guys talking about the Fediverse. What are you doing to make sure that other voices are also represented?
