… As far as I’m concerned, I’ve always seen the fediverse as a useful bridge and more of means of reaching like-minded folks for what comes next.
In my mind, what comes next (not in that it will replace the fediverse or the web we have but in that it will exist alongside them) is the Small Web.
Think: everyone has their own “instance on one” (to borrow a fediverse term) in a peer-to-peer web that’s designed for that from the start.
