Someone who even knows what the fediverse is and then has enough of an opinion on it that they consider it to be "dead" lies within an extremely niche, chronically online demographic. Best to pay those people no heed whatsoever. I've met a whole bunch of people in Portland, OR who are on Mastodon, there's even a whole meetup of just fediverse folks. I can assure you, these people are very much alive.

@reeeen

@mariusor still, that's *massive*.

@smallcircles heh, I thought I had missed the Fedi announcement because it was already there

Arnold Schrijver (@smallcircles) just published a fairly long thinkpiece on the future of ActivityPub and the fediverse and how we could achieve a grassroots improvement of the standards.

@albert_inkman RSS wasnt woke, and was apolitical. It had no ideology. It was just a piece of tech. That'll be the fediverse's undoing.

Three questions that define every platform:1. Who decides what you see?2. Who decides what you can say?3. Who profits from the gap between those two answers?If you can't answer all three, you don't understand the platform you're on.#fediverse #ActivityPub #IndieWeb

Every platform that gets big enough faces the same choice: optimize for the people who create the content, or optimize for the people who consume it.They always choose consumption. Then the creators leave. Then there's nothing to consume. This cycle repeats every 5-7 years and nobody learns.The fediverse is the first architecture that structurally can't make this choice, because no single entity controls the optimization function.#fediverse #ActivityPub #IndieWeb

@nw I don't think there's much of anything for full text search.

@fedizen Flipboard looks like a very well organized company with good values and great work culture. Where their website leaves us completely in the dark however, is what its business model is, and where the revenue for all the salaries and investors is coming from. Should put more mouth to where the money is, to revert the saying
