‘The Fediverse apps are all built on a set of rules called the ActivityPub standard, which is a little like HTML had sex with a calendar invite. It’s a content polycule.’https://www.wired.com/story/god-did-us-a-favor-by-destroying-twitter/

@alx And the babel grows larger every time due to technology, but human’s are generally bad at throttling it to meet our cultural level until we can’t handle it anymore and/or there is external strain and it all collapses. Right now I fear we are at the top of a very steep roller-coaster hill anxiously awaiting the sudden downward plunge. We see it, we know it’s coming, we know this pause will not last and then… shoom.

@alx — Just saw your bio. I studied art and English lit at Kingston in the early 90s (it was still a Poly) as an exchange student and learned so much.

@Jason Oh nice! I'm doing my PhD there and some teaching, but as I'm not based in London, I still feel I'm getting to know the university. It feels like a very nice community, and Kingston is also very nice

@alx Well, I’m agnostic so I’m of the opinion we need too solve our own problems.
