“This video is a colorful introduction to the Fediverse, guided by filmmaker & Fediverse advocate Elena Rossini. Watch now to discover a whole new world of social media, one where privacy is respected, users are empowered, and Big Tech has no say.”
This is a great video to share with friends! Thank you
This is great, I just cross-posted it to [email protected] hopefully someone can post it to Reddit. It’s really nice to see a intro to the concept of the fediverse that doesn’t get bogged down with technical details.
My concern is that if the Fediverse becomes big enough to truly threaten commercial options, corporations will find a way to destroy it - through lawsuits, malware, or using their political leverage to encourage overly restrictive laws.
It is too decentralized to be attacked. Torrents posses major risks to corpos, but still blooming
It is too decentralised to be taken down, but in especially non tech circles Torrents are like Satan to your Christian aunt

I’m pretty sure there are in fact algorithms in Fediverse code.
Fediverse is a protocol. The implementation of it depends on the service.
Great video! “It’s all connected” might be a bit exaggerated though.
@gigachad Why do you think that’s exaggerated? … almost everything is connected, isn’t it?
#Fediverse @caosWell, I am not really familiar with other fediverse services, so maybe Lemmy is a special case. But I can’t comment on peertube or follow someone on Mastodon. In theory it is connected, but in reality it’s not fully implemented yet.
@gigachad Yes, Lemmy really is a kind of special case in the Fediverse. From Lemmy, you can only post or comment in threads that are in groups (i.e. Lemmy, Piefed, mbin, Friendica groups) and can’t follow individual accounts.
Of the others, groups are the exception, while Lemmy specialises in them. In this respect, Lemmy can do less here, but it is more clearly structured.
