I've contributed a few things, instigated others, and still believe in the positive potential of technology. If the internet is broken, I probably had a hand in it (mea culpa). I still believe we can fix it.

Believer in the good in people, in the power of communal action, in personal responsibility, and in reaching out to the other side to find common grounds.

@BBCRD @Techmeme I'd say this is a story you should carry. Similar to when NPR experimented with podcasting in its early days

@sabret00the Don't know yet but I'm suspecting there will be one :)

@sabret00the My planning assumption is that all social media will have to move to the Fediverse eventually. The reason I'm making exception for LinkedIn and YouTube is 2-fold: 1. LI is about business so privacy is more important there 2. Doing video is so bandwidth adn storage intensive that it can't fall on small players

@sabret00the Yup. is not enough for video distribution. PeerTube is interesting indeed but the storage/bandwidth issue represents a challenge in terms of business model. You need to have a HUGE infrastructure to deal with volumes of video distribution. And that's costly. Not sure it's a business model that can work only through donation/subscription.
