      no I kinda know what you mean

      fedi still seems to partly have a large cliff on starter discoverability/exploration, but there’s sufficient critical mass on a number of things that it’s been improving a lot

      it’s also just … nice? nice in a way the corporate walled-garden Curated Experience shit has felt constricting on for so fucking long. still a ways to go between right now and elsewhere (and I have some thoughts on this, ito some networks not really being set up for defensively dealing with the incoming parasites), but… hope! actual, positive, experience-able hope!

        For me, this is the key. It’s a web standard word-of-mouth protocol that has potential to create new things instead of just federated versions of the stuff we already have.

        Did you see the v1 of the activitypub wordpress plugin that was recently released? https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/

        It’s plug and play and your blog becomes part of the fediverse. Can’t get over how cool that is, especially when the wordpress bit becomes replaced by something else

          I hadn’t because I’ve largely been living under various rocks for months and months now, but that’s neat
