👋 We are excited to join @fediforum next week for the first time.

We'd love to exchange ideas with you about

➡️ academics’ mastodon use: drivers and hurdles; it's a small #research project we're currently starting;

➡️ #decentralized#SocialMedia in #academia; our #university #library’s perspective;

➡️ applying #OpenScience principles in our #mastodon #communications

I'm thinking we are missing a term, or a concept when talking about the #Fediverse and #decentralized social networking vs. #centralized platforms.

The concept of "middleman" is good. We don't want a #middlemn. But then, most of us don't run our own Mastodon instances, so we have middlemen in the fediverse, too. And our e-mail providers are, and our hosting companies for our personal websites.

But those are a kind of different middleman, not as dangerous. We need a new term. (cont'd/)
