  • Hi! Of course I did, I think it is awesome, and that Elena should get a Fediverse Nobel Prize! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we should abandon mentioning federation completely, quite the opposite, the Don’t Tell People About Fediverse was more of a provocation ;) I think that having our communities federate is a huge strength we have, and I think that vid is a perfect explainer of 'what actually is federation, and I believe we direly needed that kind of friendly, helpful and premade response, I absolutely plan to use it on my instances to introduce people to the concept and explain it :) I’m just saying, that in day-to-day human interactions, I think we should start with ‘There is this awesome community I’m in!’ and then later go to ‘AND you can follow other communities from within it, no need to make an extra account!’ - as I did in my text BTW. We absolutely should do both, but I have noticed people focusing on geeking out on the awesomeness of The Fediverse - and understandably, it is awesome - but failing to mention what actually we do have here, if that makes sense to you?

    Also, thank you for taking time to read and comment on this, live long and prosper 🖖
