@ben thinks "the #Fediverse could serve as a decentralized, cross-platform connector among diverse networks" -- I've come to the same conclusion.

Imagine what innovation could happen if today's many social platforms were actually connected! Like diverse networks started getting connected into the internet in the 1990's! It enabled so much!!

Lots of other good thoughts in his piece:

@j12t @ben if I understand you correctly, I've thought this too for a while. All social web should be able to interoperably federate, and each independent instance can select which other platforms to federate with (similar to now?). The freeverse apps and instances remain unshackled to extractive data practices and continue to own their data.
