    This is great, I just cross-posted it to [email protected] hopefully someone can post it to Reddit. It’s really nice to see a intro to the concept of the fediverse that doesn’t get bogged down with technical details.

      Fediverse is a protocol. The implementation of it depends on the service.

        Well, I am not really familiar with other fediverse services, so maybe Lemmy is a special case. But I can’t comment on peertube or follow someone on Mastodon. In theory it is connected, but in reality it’s not fully implemented yet.

    My concern is that if the Fediverse becomes big enough to truly threaten commercial options, corporations will find a way to destroy it - through lawsuits, malware, or using their political leverage to encourage overly restrictive laws.

      It is too decentralized to be attacked. Torrents posses major risks to corpos, but still blooming

        It is too decentralised to be taken down, but in especially non tech circles Torrents are like Satan to your Christian aunt
