   Let’s remember it’s not BlueSky vs the Fediverse

   Its walled gardens against freedom

   The web withers in monopoly’s shade

   Together we soar on the winds of freedom

   #together #freedom

     On the contrary.

     The walled gardens have not gone away with the fediverse. At all.

     In fact there are more walled gardens than ever before. Every #Mastodon instance is its OWN walled garden, in terms of discoverability. Search is cordoned off: you can’t find anything for the most part except whatever might have been posted to your own walled garden and only if recent.

     Talk of “freedom” is lovely but the reality is Mastodon is like a spy agency with severely compartmentalized info.

     @dansup an open social web

     Of course not every node will be connected to each other

     @dansup Agree 💯

     We should be thinking in terms of collaboration, not competition.

     The essence of federation is a union of different entities, along with shared and divided powers and responsibilities.

     Open means being open in every sense, especially open minded.

     The common foe that must be conquered is closed, corporate social. If open social is divided, then *it* will be conquered.

     Implementation doesn't matter as much as interoperability.
