You know what fucks me up? The fact that several different #Fediverse platforms can seemingly talk to each other seamlessly, even the ones that seemingly were not even meant to talk to each other. Stuff on #mastodon is visible here on #kbin. My account from a #Lemmy instance can see my other account on #CalcKey. There's several different "not-Twitter" services each with their own interfaces and instances, and they all chat with each other. I can feel my brain expanding as I learn all of this.
Wait 'til you hear about phone networks and postal services. :)
Corporations have been so effective at locking us into their silos that it’s easy to forget that interoperating systems have been around for a long time, and are much more sensible.
