The idea of free information is incompatible with the existence of corporations that profit from its commodification. The battle to make information free is the battle for an entirely different world. (logicmag.io)

@yogthos @Foresight Hopefully the pendulum is starting to swing back.

The problem with the non-commercial internet has always been that there's often been a barrier to entry, in terms of technical expertise (especially anything that involves setting up your own server).

That's fine for those with the know-how, but it's not so good for grandpa who gets confused and calls the grandkids each time the order of the icons changes on his phone.

Agreed, there is a higher barrier to entry for the fediverse at the moment. I do imagine this will get more polish as the fediverse gets more popular. We're seeing this happening with Linux where it's becoming a lot more accessible over the past few years even though it's still only around 3% of overall OS market.

@yogthos Certainly some of the new iOS and Android apps for Mastodon show a lot of promise.

I'm also genuinely looking forward to the @pixelfed app becoming available in the various app stores in April or May.

So certainly some promising signs on the horizon on the usability front for the Fediverse.
