People view the fediverse as the final solution to the structural problem of the internet. I dont think so.

I am an technoanarkist from a human perspective. I believe in the human web and the community web, where nodes represents people and communities.

The ideology of the fediverse is that if an instance can federate, its good. Its equally flawed as saying the adoption of open software will lead to digital freedom. This is one of the reasons Stallman couldnt mobilize for digital freedom. They didnt have a human understandable vision.

We need to think further than just the technical aspects if we want people power in cyberspace.

I believe we have to stop to look to those in power and instead look to our communities. What do they want? What does people want? What does organizers and communities want? We should develop the web with people and communities demands in mind.

The web should be a tool to strengthen communities and empower people.

The web has the potential to destroy the world and be its savior. It depends on the structure.

    I don’t really think you’re getting your point across very well. After reading your post, I don’t really understand WHY you think the fediverse is flawed and I also don’t really understand what your solution/alternative vision to that is supposed to look like.
