      Would you mind telling me what “Fediverse” is please. I had a bit of a read about this new place/thing/situation/blogsite or whatever it’s called. I’m an old Troglodyte and lucky that I even discovered Reddit 12 years ago. It was great for many years but I’ve grown tired of the same old comments and the insecure mods. Well anyway, happy newish year.

        It’s the constellation of federated web services all communicating with each other through a shared protocol.

        Imagine if Web 2.0 had dawned with someone inventing a way for all the blogs, forums, wikis and social media to talk to each other, instead of Big Web tempting people into walled gardens. Well we’re now back on that better timeline and making up for lost time.
