@fediversereport@mastodon.social @Mastodon@mastodon.social Not really sure what this is saying. Stipulated that most people experience the Fedi as one big interconnected social network. That's what it is. And the fact that the prevailing attitude is a fair degree of hostility to AI, mirrors what most of the general population thinks about AI. The fact that an ungoverned and ungovernable network reflects the general consensus does not seem to be a problem that needs solving. 1/

@fediversereport @Mastodon powerful insights as always. I agree with almost everything you say, but I'll add a few thoughts: "But the lived experience of most Mastodon users is not King’s million small places with curated front doors. It is a single shared social space," I counter that each instance's community management applies a custodial effect to the federated timeline, shepherding this individuality, an overlapping Venn diagram of "space" a little bit mine, a little bit my community's.

@Mastodon@mastodon.social I find that I experience culture and community in 'meat space.' Online is mostly for entertainment or escape. I get away from the meat space goblins to fight with the virtual trolls and gremlins. YMMV. In meat space you can verify that the person is real and not a sock puppet. Usually.

@fediversereport @Mastodon I'm not sure if I agree with @laurenshof sentence "It is the culture of the federation layer, formed through years of shared follows, shared boosts, shared blocks and shared arguments about what is acceptable, and it governs even though no institution maintains it." whether is likely true that most of #fediverse users, today, has neuter or bad opinion about AI or whatever other controversial topic, nobody has the exact same "federation layer experience" as someone else. Each one of us follow determined people, or topic, and silence or block other and that means that my federated timeline is different than yours. If I'm seriously uninterested into something , say a bubble, or a continental popular music contest, or a sport, or whatever I won't search for it, I won't comment it, I would eventually silence the topic, if it gets too noisy I'm not going to tell all people worldwide not to talk about it. I follow the creator of a particular good software because I think is relevant to hear what he thinks about software, that does not mean I agree on all his opinions about anything
