    What nonsense.

    Why do people have to aggrandise every slightly new hip technology. You’re going to turn it into the crypto of web tech and uphold it as the saviour of everything.

    The Fediverse offers nothing applicably new in potential to build communities than has always existed on the Internet. We’ve been forming communities based on mutual interests since Usenet.

        Nah, the Fungiverse is part of the HFY (Humanity, Fuck Yeah) sub-genre of writing. It’s an authors works, and I’ve semi-enjoyed some of their stories in the past. I’d say the story parts are meant to be viewed in similar lens to The Culture from Ian M. Banks series.

        It’s odd that the site mixes stories in some posts, with op. ed. pieces like this in others but eh I guess that’s the ‘artsy/ziney’ feel.
