  • I posted a follow-up to above toot, as I got some very nice responses from various fedizens. Quoting below:

    Thanks to all of ya who responded to my question thus far on:

    "What is the #Vision of the #Fediverse?"

    Some interesting takes, and also the observation that its personal and there are many visions.

    Imho we need ask such questions more.

    • What do we like, want and need on the fedi?
    • Are we going there?
    • Do we have shared vision, common cause?

    And things like..

    • Where might fedi be in 2 years time?
    • In 5 years?
    • Is that likely to happen?
    • What is needed to get there?
    • What's missing?
    • How can I help?

    The observation "there is no singular vision" by @skipfordj is a valid one.

    • But isn't there shared vision besides that?
    • Should there be?
    • Maybe shared technology vision, such as in the #SocialHub slogan #SocialNetworkingReimagined?
    • Or a shared cultural vision, such as expressed in #UnitedInDiversity
    • What technology vision inspires the most progress towards getting the fedi we want?
    • And what shared vision allows us to have, retain and strengthen our culture and values, respect our diversity?

    So why did I write this toot in the first place?

    My observation is one where the #Fediverse technology adoption lifecycle is broken due to the lack of healthy substrate - people and processes to evolve the ecosystem as a whole, maintain open standards, ensure broad #interoperability.

    That's technical vision related. It hampers innovation and the imagination of what fedi can be.

    It leads to risks for fedi as a whole. That fedi stalls, or will be exploited.
