Hello world! The logical end-point of distribution and federation is a personal instance. This is my Mastodon instance.
@ton That’s excellent, Ton, I really should look into doing this myself, but our server is completely command-line-driven!
@ton Hello Ton, welcome to the wonderful world of Mastodon
@ton Hello! What's curating your own federation been like? Any lessons learned?
@Sandra True, I think the actual unit of agency here is a group, preferably a pre-existing group in a specific context. It's just that the current distribution of instances is not distributed at all but highly centralised in a handful of instances which imo makes things worse compared to e.g. bigtech in terms of knowing who you're dealing with moderator wise. A properly distributed situation means lots of small and individiual instances (my blog could be an instance e.g.)
Just yesterday, I was talking about @ton in terms of using Obsidian.md for a ground-up approach to contact management. A followup to my #Eductive blogpost (in French) about #KnowledgeManagement. https://eductive.ca/ressource/blogue-de-veille/de-la-prise-de-notes-a-la-gestion-des-connaissances/
@ton Hi there! Great to see you on your own instance! Looking forward to read about your journey.
