Reddit and Twitter are boosting decentralization and I'm all here for it
Yeah. I can't help but think Reddit is doing the internet a favour in the long term. The more decentralized and less corporate control the better.
Feels like we're coming full circle at this point
lol yep it's funny: Reddit is unironically saving the Internet. It's become pretty much 3-5 main sites and that's it. In the 90s I had about a million different forum bookmarks, chat rooms and communities I was a part of. i'm feeling very comfortable having kicked reddit out of my life and gone back to that.
I do wish it had a different name than fediverse though, that name reminds me too much of Metaverse.
I kind of like The Federation, but that also sounds like the name of an evil empire in a sci fi show.
I mean that's just literally Star Trek and probably copyright of whoever owns that IP these days.
I'm not saying you're wrong because our legal system sucks badly these days, but it's bullshit that anyone can copyright a common fucking word even if it's used in a totally different context from the source of the copyright. Like when Sky News sued Microsoft for their SkyDrive, forcing Microsoft to change it to OneDrive. So I guess Sky News fucking owns the word "Sky" now.
Yeah ngl it's a pretty dumb name.
Fediverse has been a thing for much longer than Metaverse. Can't blame them for not knowing Zuck will be giving his failed experiment a similar sounding name in the future.
Metaverse has been a word since ‘92, but I do agree that we can’t blame anyone for not knowing what zuck would do.
