Have you ever had one of those weeks where everything you touch breaks or fails?

It's pretty frustrating let me tell you.

I’m kind of surprised how much corporate social media is promoted at #allthingsopen. Fediverse is getting no mentions on people’s contact slides. 😢

@badnetmask Shows how much I pay attention. I didn't even realize this was a thing.

@evan a work setting is vastly different than a social network, especially one where there’s no barrier to someone setting up a server of their own and becoming their own “authority”. Consider how that might play out: server A has a real name policy and validates IDs, server B has a real name policy and doesn’t. How many people would know the difference? Would they believe the validity of either is equal? What difference would it make to the rest of the Fedi that doesn’t have a policy?

@evan How would one federate trust of the verification for such a thing? If it can't be verified, real name policies are pointless.

@badnetmask I rather wish it had been me to have the thought "let's turn IRC into a commercial product".

@dansup is this the thing that will finally make my private server useful?

@wingo Slashdotted... Fireballed... What's the Mastodon or ActivityPub equivalent?
