     @navigium Funny and sad too.

     @morph I approve 100% - it's funny how people keep pretending that the Fediverse popped up in 2016 out of thin air and nothing existed before that.

     @navigium I'm scared that misunderstanding of the federation and what could be possible beyond its current status could cause a lot of people to leave the lawn in direction of Threads, BlueSky or so. I really hope that the network will grow and not stuck or become meaningless because it's overseen that you can tune in with a lot of choices other than to register on someone's Mastodon instance. I think a lot have gone yet being disaoppointed in various ways.

     @morph yes, but I'm not sure whether the sad part is that nobody seems to pay proper repect to the real fediverse pioneers or that we're getting old and becoming gray beards telling others to get off the lawn. 😋

     @navigium Phew ... hard to say. The "general public" is huge and diverse. Some will enjoy news platforms like Flipboard, some will enjoy it twitter like (but with the experience/features they're used from it). Some will tend to forum like platforms (guess Lemmy would feel too "techy" for many). I personally like how it evolved. Although my timeline became more twitterish than I was used to before. It's a bit too much sometimes. And I'm not good in structuring into various accounts, lists etc :)

     @morph well, TBH software diversity and the size of the community wasn't better back in the Identica /StatusNet days. Which doesn't make your point less valid. What do you think it would take to make the fedi more appealing to the general public? Certainly it takes more than a logo, right?

     @navigium It's the only way to convince people when there's easy to use and clean software. Federation stuff should be available on small web hosting services like people are used to have CMS, Mail and so like one-click solutions for WordPress, NextCloud. It has to work like Email or WhatsApp on desktop and phone. Otherwise it won't succeed.

     ... there would be plenty geeky stuff to do. But I'm also a bit tired of it. Of course I also miss some activity on my "statusnet" list of duffers. :)

     @morph sometimes I miss the geek themed time line from the identica days, too. I always wanted to sort contacts to filter and reproduce that timeline again. I'm not very good at keeping something like this up and tidy.
     
     I guess it's as with every piece of software that's partially driven by a community, there will always be rough edges and some people just prefer polished silicon valley VC backed software.

     @navigium Yeah ... those radio operations are indeed kind of geeky. 😄

     @morph that's a good point with the easy install on hosting services. Also this won't make it useable on the phone per se. IMHO on this front there is definitely more work needed.
     
     I still like to do geeky stuff but these days it's mostly covered by what I do at work plus some hf radio operation on mountain tops. 😉

     @navigium Perfect as it combines outdoor and nerd activity. :)

     @morph Especially on a mountain top, in morse code... (Or CW to be more precise)
