Gregory's Server@tantek.com also got a shout-out in @cubicgarden and @mike ‘s podcast. The #indieweb has been an early pioneer towards largely the same vision as the #fediverse, starting with individuals itching their own itch.

You laugh but it will happen :)  @cubicgarden actually I’m willing to go one step further: we will stop thinking of social networking as a thing, whether on closed platforms or with open protocols. Instead, we will do the things we want to do online in the context and with the people we want to have around, whether that’s reading the news or shopping or entertainment. A bit like “ambient connectivity” on mobile phones replaced dedicated phone lines back in the days. Let’s call it “ambient social”. |
@cubicgarden has the greatest last line:
"It's going to be an unstoppable force. In a few years time, people will go: oh remember how we all used to use these proprietary social networks, you had to use their client, oh dear!"
