I updated it, I didn't include https://jointhefediverse.net/ because it seems to be run by only one person and it doesn't include lemmy :( People sending this image can also send it with a link to some point in the fediverse they like
But you already have that at the different services. You can sign up to the ones you like - why have news feed for the whole fediverse? Imo if you change something, try to improve the hot-feeds of the respective services
Good point. But with decentral social media you have to take part in this stuff at least to some degree. Or you are on a very solid instance. Better then to prepare people about this stuff too.
My bad, that's a bit inconsistent. Actually I think it should be a graphic for mastodon - the talking bird analogy just makes the most sense there. Although it kind of works for the other too ...
Thanks! I did that also because sometimes these technicalities change (at least the not underlying ones). For example in many graphics you have still Twitter but its now X.
Ok, let me try again. I think people forget the mental shift that it takes to join a federated network. And I think you cannot convey that in a simple analogy. People are so used to a central power behind their social media that they don't even understand the concept of having a social network with no one defining the rules. Its simply not part of their world view. And to open them up for this kind of mindset is hard.
Ha ha, good one :D The graphic is also good. I wish there would be one in like a medieval fantasy setting. On the left side you have a mad king who tries to control the whole empire, on the right you have federated states, each with their own community and rules. I think these graphics are great but I wish we would make more use of storytelling: for example, someone growing up in the centralised fantasy kingdom, who then joins federated tribes living in the wild. I think that could also be done with just a few slides.
Right and that explains it well. But it doesn't exactly get people excited or make them understand what it FEELS like to be part of a federated social network.
