That sounds very nice and I must admit I haven't made a lot of research on this topic. But today the major servers are still sold as a building block for an "inside" community. You browse instance that are categorized by inte

This is exactly what we need. The current landscape of Fediverse is too young: every application involves both functionality, identity and community. So you don't really join a network, but you join a specific community using a specifi

Who pays for Twitter ? Who said anything about the Fediverse having to be free ? There is absolutely no doubt that should Twitter die, if no single actor can emerge quickly enough, for-profit actors will emerge and they will have all good

Mastodon will probably die first because it's just a software but that's not a problem: ActivityPub, the protocol, and the Fediverse, the network, will most certainly outlast Twitter. Unless Twitter chooses to get compatible with

Blockchains don't solve anything. They reinforce the idea that money rules everything, and when money rules everything hierarchies always happen. They sit on top of the most basic tenets of Capitalism and only serve to strengthen it.

It is not only overdramatic, it is plain wrong. Humanity has found pockets of freedom from hierarchy, seeing as hierarchy is the root cause of slavery, colonization and exploitation. Contrary to popular belief the road to civilization doesn

This all sounds very good and I must admit nano looks like the first thing that starts to make sense in the crypto world. My only point of interrogation is whether having more money can give you more voting power, like PoS, in which case I

Owning stock earns you money, which is very tangible. It is money taken from the labour of workers, and thus not going to them, and is the main way already rich non-working people can still buy whatever they want. It is far from meaningles
