The web designer and developer Jim Nielsen commented on a quote from the Security/Devops engineer Mat Duggan about the Fediverse… apparently a “social network that half the internet has never heard of”.
No source for this claim is cited so allow me make up my own statistic in response: Half the Internet has heard of the Fediverse but decided it is not for them as they are not techy people and do not wish to join one of the gated communities they are building for themselves so they can keep reassuring each other what a great job they are doing… even if some of them struggle to resize a window.
To quote from an earlier piece by Mat Duggan regarding a browser extension he had created:
“Interestingly one of my most common requests is “I would like less technical content” which as it turns out is tricky to provide because it’s pretty hard to find.”
The clues are all there. Let’s see if they can figure it out.
