Fediverse

Indeed. I recently started using the term "personal social networking" where fediverse allows people to tailor their own social graph such that it delivers the most value to them. It is more human-scale. A huge public square like Twitter where people are all shouting for attention from their soapbox and trying to influence groups visiting the square is nice and all, if that's your thing. In real life most people don't do that kind of thing. They aren't hanging around with 2,000 'friends' visiting bars in the weekend.

Give me a personal social network with human relationships that are below Dunbar's Number, and then give me access to a separate knowledge network to find information I am interested in. Hey, that last bit is the web we already have. I personally do not need advanced search in all the things that 9 million fedizens have said the past couple of years, same as I do not audio record and transcribe my daily life, interviewing my friends at a birthday party.
