Good brief piece by @matdevdug, who admits being wrong about the fediverse, and discusses some of its finer points."I never expected to find my news from strangers on a federated social network that half the internet has never heard of.. there's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just... share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, no algorithm nudging you toward rage. Just someone who spent twenty years studying Arctic policy posting a thread at 2 AM because they think you should understand what's happening. It's the internet I was promised in 1996. It only took thirty years and the complete collapse of American journalism to get here."https://matduggan.com/boy-i-was-wrong-about-the-fediverse#fedi #fediverse #Mastodon #decentralized
