Control? Loved that game!
The United States government has a monopoly on the concept of a federation.
Honestly with every federal agency having its own janky website that acts as a ‘portal’ to a bunch of other random websites… the first time I heard of the fediverse without any context, my guess was that it was some kind of master site that linked all of them together. Which would be entirely useless, but that’s never stopped the feds before.
I call it lemmy
Lemmy and other link aggregators are just a (small) part of the fediverse, though.
Fediverse is just a (small) part of the internet, though.
I struggle to explain Lemmy or the fediverse simplicity for the unfamiliar
“You’ve heard about Twitter and Reddit, right? Imagine if you could read, upvote, and comment on Reddit posts from Twitter directly, without a Reddit account. Or the other way around. This is kind of what Fediverse is. Also most of it is run and managed by volunteers and non-profits, like Wikipedia, so it doesn’t try to spy on you or show you ads.”
Part of why we put this together is so that I could send it to people when I struggle to explain 😅

Control was so good, and she’s the only fed I trust
Rip Cohost 🥲
I’ve been thinking; what could be an alternative name for Fediverse ?
