The film version of my image Alleviate. I took this frame while exploring the #PNW coasts of #Washington and the #olympicnationalpark area.

The Fediverse, you might have heard of it. From Mastodon to Peertube and more—it’s is a collection of different services that are all working together to form an interconnected universe of applications. It sounds unbelievable, but it’s here today. You can follow me [over here on Mastodon](https://mastodon.online/@gardiner_bryant). It wrests control of the web out of the hands of corporate oligarchs and digital tycoons and returns that power to where it belongs: us. I’ve spent the entirety of 2024 working on the Fediverse and I’ve learned a lot. See, I started mirroring these videos over on my Peertube instance: https://subscribeto.me/ and it’s sucked me. I’ve gone down this rabbit hole of discovery. I’ve passed through the looking glass. I’ve seen the promised land. And now, I want to share this with you. So in this video, I want to take a moment to explore 5 of the most important lessons I’ve learned and why I’m now betting the future of my company on this amazing technology that we call “The Fediverse.” 00:00 What if we lived in a cooperative online world? 01:33 What is an "instance?" 02:11 #5 - Netiquette was not a fluke 04:49 #4 - Kindness is King 06:44 #3 - It's not a Social Network 08:06 #2 - The Fediverse is boring (complement) 11:04 #1 - Viral Memes as Bioweapons 12:59 Social Media is the enemy of humanity 13:36 What the Fediverse truly is
