Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🤟😁

The host Search Engine, PJ Vogt, and the host of Hard Fork, Kevin Roose, discussed their thoughts about a “new kind of Internet” possible with the Fediverse. They also talked about the challenges of the somewhat technical barrier to entry.

I especially liked them sharing their perspectives; the Fediverse seems to simultaneously be a recreation of a pre-shittified Internet and something new altogether.

They even created their own live Mastodon server to see how that would go: https://theforkiverse.com/explore They ended up testing OpenAI’s Operator to do the heavy lifting of coding, but did make the realization they did not know how their own user verification works or how to change it.

I am just elated that there is talk in the “mainstream” of the Fediverse. I’m hopeful that some attention such as this can help raise awareness and pique some curiosities.

Already seeing a big influx of forkiverse users on Mastodon as a result of this. Hope lots of them stick around
