I think people are used to a web that’s solely focused on viral content as opposed to deeply engaging content. For that reason people don’t think their contributions are valuable and decide to not post.

The truth of the matter is actually that real communities are dependent on the non viral content. So it’s important to reframe how we act in a more tight knit web community and treat it more like a party than a competition to have the most viral piece of media.

The sooner we can get back to casual conversation as a means for real community building, the sooner we can get away from the perpetual viral doom scroll environments.

I assume this is because of adhering to ActivityPub standards?

I was able to get accepted in less than a few hours. I think it really just depends on what time of day you’re registering, and when they’re reviewing registrations.

I do love clean socks…

Capitalistic forces undermine real tools for human connection. They’re sole focus is to extract value, and that is incongruent with a healthy network. Fediverse and other p2p tech will definitely be the foundation for a future web.
