I’m well aware of the pros/cons of centralized vs decentralized community systems. I’ve been doing this stuff since the 90s. My only point (at the moment) is that federation, in itself, does not solve community problems. Only human community leaders solve those problems. I’m just as excited about the fediverse as everyone else is. Just don’t pretend the tech itself solves anything by default. Trust me, we made that mistake last time. I want us to do better this time.

I really need to take the time to write more about this. The rise and fall of blogging as a lot to teach the fediverse, and I was deeply involved with that (I worked for Blogger and Technorati). I sincerely want to see the fediverse succeed, because we’ve tried the alternative and we all know it sucks.
