I dont understand this, but it looks great though!
Basically, the image claims that the fediverse saves you from traditional social media, and can deprogram you from the dark patterns that those platforms imposed on you.
It is a nice image, and I’ve seen it before. What strikes me though, is that most discussion on how Fediverse is different is either vague or quite technical in nature, and that for Fediverse there’s no vision of what it can grow into in the future. Especially the lack of vision in people’s minds seems to always lead to rather shallow comparisons of individual ‘small’ features where federated apps are better. But they are still thought of mostly as ‘copies-done-better’ wrt their proprietary companions.
I definitely agree with this.
As I see it, people view the fediverse as the final solution to the structural problem of the internet.
I am an technoanarkist from a human perspective. I believe in the human web and the community web, where nodes represents people and communities.
The fediverse philosophy is that when you can choose your dictator, your freedom is maximized. Because people will choose the most benevolent dictator.
The fediverse takes centealized ideology and filters out the bad stuff. We feel like everything has to look and feel the same. We dont dare to reimagine.
I believe we have to stop to look to those in power and look to our communities. What do they want? What does people want? What does organizers and communities want? We should develop the web with peoples and comminities demands in mind.
