How can you explain the Fediverse to someone?
If you where to try and explain the Fediverse to someone, how would you explain it with it's different instances? As well as explain why it is better in some ways for the future of the Internet?
You're viewing a single thread.
If I were speaking to someone with limited current technological know how, but is familiar with older tech, I would use terminology that he/she would understand.
So, to me, the fediverse is similar to a network of BBS’. Where the “instance” would be your specific interpretation on what your experience should be like, run and maintained locally.
Thanks to the internet and portable html viewers, there’s nothing you can’t do on the go that you would have been previously restricted to using a landline and PC to accomplish.
Allowing unfiltered access to a whole network of independently run instances/BBS’, all from the comfort of your recliner, is pretty bada**. 🤘🏻
