2023 in social media: the case for the fediverse
We’ve barely scratched the surface of what the open social web can be — and it’s already better than what we have.
You're viewing a single thread.
I was excited to see this article written on the verge but then I read it. Seems like they are only interested in what the fediverse can do now that Threads is getting in and sticking their foot in the door. It's likely they needed Meta as a corporation to validate federation as something with real potential. We need to be highly critical about the entities who just see this as another way to make money off our data
Vergecast people and @davidpierce@mastodon.social who wrote this piece have been on board with Activity Pub for much longer than Threads has even been a thing.
I do wonder if they know about Lemmy though :)
They did mention Lemmy in the article.
That's a ridiculous take, can't believe it has so many upvotes. The Verge has staff on Mastodon for a while now.
The Verge has staff on Mastodon for a while now.
Is this an article for staff of The Verge? Or is it for an audience that might only relate to something if it's connected to something they've heard of?
I honestly don’t see how this was your takeaway from the article. That’s not at all what they were saying.
