FediForum 2024 is almost here! Flipboard CEO @mike catches up with conference co-organizer and Dazzle Labs CEO @J12t to get a taste of top-of-mind topics for fediverse stewards, including how this space can cross the chasm into the mainstream. It’s a new episode of Dot Social, the first podcast about the open social web.
Is there any plan to run an episode, or even several, on some of the issues that are documented within the Fediverse? In particular, the racism that pushed many Black users out of the platform, the reply guy problem (I’m considering stopping publishing on Mastodon because of that), or the many moral panics targeted at projects a vocal, but toxic, minority doesn’t understand?
@mike@damon@Flipboard@J12t I’m all on board with the Fediverse and its philosophy. But these problems can severely hamper its growth, hence why I think they need to be discussed and addressed.
@o_simardcasanova@mike@damon@Flipboard A podcast may not be the right venue to make progress in solving difficult problems. However, finding like-minded individuals and work collaboratively to address them might: consider attending https://fediforum.org this week where in all likelihood there will be several related session. Call your own if you don’t see that a subject is adequately covered!
@J12t@o_simardcasanova@damon@Flipboard Yes live conversations at FediForum will be helpful for this. I will also work on a Dot Social episode dedicated to the issues you are raising.
