    What nonsense.

    Why do people have to aggrandise every slightly new hip technology. You’re going to turn it into the crypto of web tech and uphold it as the saviour of everything.

    The Fediverse offers nothing applicably new in potential to build communities than has always existed on the Internet. We’ve been forming communities based on mutual interests since Usenet.

        Nah, the Fungiverse is part of the HFY (Humanity, removed Yeah) sub-genre of writing. It’s an authors works, and I’ve semi-enjoyed some of their stories in the past. I’d say the story parts are meant to be viewed in similar lens to The Culture from Ian M. Banks series.

        It’s odd that the site mixes stories in some posts, with op. ed. pieces like this in others but eh I guess that’s the ‘artsy/ziney’ feel.

          ohhhh that makes sense.

          That entire genre isn’t my cup of tea personally. I’m more of a Humanity, What The removed kind of guy

    It sounds like a convoluted self repeating try to explain why anarchism wasnt so bad all along without using the word.

    Lateral, interconnected communities based on free association is exactly that.

    I think I get what they’re trying to say but its really painful to read.

    But yes, direct democracy, paired with lack of hierarchy. Would be great. Lets see.

    Just the connection of giant corpos is a no from me. I‘m never gonna federate with the likes of meta and xitter.
