The fediverse has always grown in waves, and it looks like the next one's in progress.
The fediverse has always grown in waves and we're at the start of one. It's worth looking at what tactics worked well in the past, to use them again or adapt them and build on them. It's also valuable to look at what went wrong or didn't work out as well in the past, to see if there are ways to do better.
Here's the current table of contents:
I'm flashing!!!!!
But first, some background
Don't tell people "it's easy"
Improve the "getting-started experience"
Keep scalability and sustainability in mind
Prioritize accessibility
Get ready for trolls, hate speech, harassment, spam, porn, and disinformation
Invest in moderation tools
Values matter
This is a great opportunity – and it won't be the last great opportunity
I wish one account on the fediverse was more easily used across platforms: mastodon, peertube and kbin for example. I can follow kbin on mastodon but came enjoy the thread experience of kbin. Still getting used to each platform as well as they each offer a unique experience of their own.
