And the beauty is that all these different domains where social fabric is being focused on, will be able to evolve independently with a large movement of people behind.

As long as there's sufficient focus on the open standards that will ensure these different initiatives are able to be integrated over time, that is.

I admit back in the late 1990s, early 2000s, with Open Source becoming a thing, I did feel like there was a chance for the Internet to truly decentralise and for money to not be its motivating power.

But now cryptocurrency has hijacked the brains of even the people who once were interested in decentralised systems.

There's got to be a new way forward from this whole mess somehow. But how?

@zleap

I meant primarily the software projects. If there are many instances the contribute to attractiveness of 'ecosystem'.

But instances, i.e. server bounderies, are a very poor abstraction to model online community with. Better ways to model the social fabric of the fedi also work best on the level of interoperability betweeen applications.

Highly recommended read on #centralization vs #decentralization and the recognition of how distributed systems work.

"Regulation is a centralized function. The job of #regulation is to stop distributed systems from going awry"

"Things are going very bad very quickly. It will get worse. Major rework is needed. We all feel it. We are not doing the rework. We are chasing rainbows. We don't need deregulation. We need better designed regulation."

@humanetech The metaverse is a bad idea invented by companies desperate for a next big thing to sell to investors.

There can be reasons to have an immersive 3d environment but it's unlikely to become the dominant means for computer interaction.

If you're interested there's a project inspired by second life that allows different hosters to interact http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Main_Page

Dear developers, especially those working on free and open software: every new release is an opportunity to have someone discover your tool.

Make sure you explain what your tool is when announcing a new release and have links to where people can learn more about it.

#Fediverse, while we shaped a great place to be, we are sitting ducks for disruption by corporates where Metaverses are now the talk of the day.

We need broad vision to move forward, to ensure our relevance into the future, to inspire and become more united in our quest.

We do a lot of talking and we could do with more walking. Coordinated action.

I might be dreamy or crazy, but am afraid we squander the huge potential we have.

Let's build worlds, my fellow fedizens.

I'm always looking out for pedestrians, & cyclists. I feel it's my responsibility as a driver to watch my surroundings.

@zleap
Again (and publically), great work zleap on this #Fediverse article for the newbie.

You did a lot of the heavy lifting to get this article started, with others joining in.

Its concise but to the point.

Anyone printing this should be able to fit two or three copies to an A4 page, if they use columns wisely.

Well done and thanks again!
