Is Mastodon / the fediverse, the peak of composable asychronous communities (and IRC being the peak of synchronous communities)?
Just a question I thought of while staring. I really gave Mastodon a try for 6 months and microblogging was just not for me. I like the underlying technology though and feel it really has potential to creating an alternative to all other social networks and maybe even personal websites.

- parasti 5y agoSince you didn't say it, I'll mention that fediverse is not limited to microblogging. For long form blogging there is, e.g., https://writefreely.org/ https://writefreely.org/ To me it feels like RSS on steroids. Best of the modern web (technology) combined with the best of early 2000s web (decentralization).
