Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

@theaterulm Hey, wilkommen im #Fediverse bei den coolen Kids! 😎👍

Jonathan Perkel posted this over on FB and I love it so much I had to repost. I can't find him over here in the #fediverse so far? The post was titled "stuff we did when we were 12" or something like that. And I really want to throw this into a fancy B/X melee simulator... 😄

A hand-written list of all the "parties" in "Keep on the Borderlands" for the "lawful" and "chaotic" sides. For a giant war game, presumably.

The old web was decentralized:

- Newsgroups
- Personal Websites
- Bulletin board
- Email as a service, not a platform
- Internet relay chat (IRC)
- Early blogs

Then corporations arrived with money and lock-in, turning the internet into centralized ad farms (Meta, X, TikTok). Users became consumers, trapped in algorithms, tracking, and enshittification. Revenue more important than people.

The Fediverse is a way back: no ads, no algorithms, no dark patterns. People first. A web worth reclaiming. And open source is the engine of this transformation.

Take back the web. Decentralize again 💪 Bring people to the Fediverse, promote open source and build federated services.
