I had never even heard of the Fediverse until I was researching social media for a piece I'm writing on the spread of misinformation. Then an entire world, previously hidden, suddenly appeared like an oasis on the horizon.
OK, I'll admit, oasis might be a tad optimistic--but I'm optimistic by nature.
I'm an old, retired academic who has turned towards writing as a last ditch effort to stave off senility. Please forgive my floundering until I figure out this space.
@InkyNibs no worries...enjoy the ride
@InkyNibs welcome, good to have you here! What sort of writing do you generally do? :)
@InkyNibs Nicely put. Though compared to other social media, the Fediverse is indeed an oasis. ;)
@InkyNibs@writing.exchangeb Yeah, it's amazing how this free, open and true social universe is hidden from the public, isn't it? This world full of captalism and consumption doesn't want you to find it. It's a secret gem, a wonderful and friendly place. Welcome! #fediverse #internet #socialmedia
@InkyNibs welcome and have a great time!
@InkyNibs Wellcome to the fediverse then! There are definately some ogres invading the oasis every once in a while but in general this is a pretty cool place. Or should I say: "This is a pretty cool collection of spaces!"? Have fun discovering!
@InkyNibs Looking forward to reading about what you found on misinformation
