Fair point

You can already see how Meta will also use imagery to establish its centre-position in the Fediverse with its symbol for the Fediverse (it has a centre):

(from https://mastodon.social/@liaizon@wake.st/112139602260820054)

Because you didn't like the article that much, here only with the coolest images ...

Yeah ok, I need to improve my english skills

I guess its federated so the people running it will determine that.

Also, if you have to sign in with ORCHID, which identifies you, you will be careful to post useless garbage papers. I think the integration of ORCHID is really clever. That's at least what I think it will be used for too, right?

I don't know about the current state of the project, but last time I used WriteFreely, it was kind of meh. Very barebone, the server I used often crashed :(

Yeah, I think those are good. I read "The Master and Margarita", its also about magic (not children's novel though).

I mean, I wouldn't have a problem with just doing another fantasy series instead. In my opinion, the magic system is the most unique thing about Harry Potter, because it teaches people certain things about the digital world. You can delete things, you can move things around, you can make things appear and disappear.

That's what another series would need to replicate, which none of the one I know or you mentioned, do.

I think thats just a thing that will get better over time

You are describing a different thing than what the idea of the fediverse is. Content is collected at an instance and these instances federate. That's why its called Fediverse: people basically form groups, these group federate. It's a social thing, there is trust involved. With blockchain, the idea is that you don't need to trust a central entity.

I think you talk about something like nostr.

I do think that the book carry some important messages like questioning authority, being agents of one's own life. On the other hand you it is rather conservative and some bad stereotypes.

But the question is: for which novel doesn't this apply, too? I think one can look past those things if one looks at the overall message here. Also, the universe and the fandom has developed since the original series. Look at the game: its very diverse. Ok, you still have the antisemetic stereotypes, but its definitely a step forward.

So yes, I think the H.P. still has something for society to profit from. The popularity also speaks for itself. If you like it or not, it will stay a part of society for a while.

So instead of banning the whole thing (which is unrealistic in the long run anyways), I think it would be good to embrace its healthy parts for the Fediverse.

Well, the H.P. fandom stands in the center not Rowling or her books. I think one should differentiate with that.

Also: yes, the books contain antisemitic stereotypes, but Rowling herself hasn't said herself anything antisemitic to my knowledge. Some of her statemets are transphobic, but the Fediverse has enough room to carry out this conflict.

We are not in centralized social media anymore, where you have to be on the same site as everybody else. If you are on the same instance as a transphobe and you oppose that: change instances. If you don't want to be on an instance that federates with any transphobe content: change to an instance that de-federated with any of those instances. That's all possible in the Fediverse.

No web3 is skipped. Next comes the social web. The articles name is misleading. CollectiveWeb would be more fitting then web4

Mmh, I remain sceptical

Moderation doesn't work there.

But yeah, its not ideal ...

Ok, you are right. Its not a separate species. So call it homo sapiens-digitalis and yeah, some people are kind of already there.

Altough in terms of digital agency, I think we could still go a long way.

web10? webX? I like web4 because people already can categorize it.

That's still possible without banning corporations completely from the Fediverse (which will not be possible anyways). It's just melancholic daydreaming.

That's black and white thinking and undemocratic. Conservatives respect democracy and should therefore be a part of it.

Also they obviously something to contribute, next to Liberalism and Socialism, Conservatism is one of the biggest political traditions. Let's not be so stupid to assume that it's complete bullshit.

Conservatism protects traditional institutions, watches that change is not too fast and traditionally, also warns against too much destructering of traditional societal structures by the market. Maybe modern conservatives don't necessary do all of that, but it's a tradition that has earned itself.

Firstly: commerzialization will come eventually anyways.

Secondly: what has all of that to do with democracy? I would hope that the Fediverse thrives to become a democratic place.

Also, the Fediverse is currently still rather small. If it should benefit humanity as a whole, you will not be able to avoid corporations completely.

I don’t want to save the liberal democracy, thanks.

Wow, that's great. Only the thing that our society is based on for last decades with a tradition of hundreds of years. Great, down the toilet with it! Hope you got some idea with what to replace it ...
