   So relieved and delighted to have this stuff out into the world where it can help new (and maybe also some experienced) fedi admins and mods think through their work. And maybe help convey to others at least some of what makes the fediverse such a structurally interesting place.

   I'm even more optimistic about the fediverse than I was when we jumped into this—and sobered, too, by how much work there is to be done. But I think it's doable.

     @berniethewordsmith We mention it, but this is sort of a level down, about structures and processes of governance. I wrote about the culture problem last year, though: https://erinkissane.com/the-affordance-loop

     Unfortunately the site’s getting slashdotted rn but it will come back up

     @kissane Will read. Any insights regarding the harassment that black folks are suffering from hate groups here? Been reading more about it recently

     I think talking about the fediverse as a social component of the open web, with all the joys and horrors that entails, is useful in helping non-fedi people understand that a.) it’s not a platform at all, and b.) that this genuinely does confer benefits for people who want to build communities that interconnect—carefully—with other communities. I don’t think the fediverse is fully equipped for that use, yet, but it’s my hope that the experiences, insights, and recommendations we’ve collected will help the network move in the right direction(s).a social component of the open web

     Yes! Yes! Yes!
