The real magic of the is collaboration.

Many of the largest projects have worked together behind the scenes on compatibility.

It's not that common now that ActivityPub has matured, but you better believe the early days of 2018 had big players like Mastodon and Pleroma working closely on compat.

= Community + Collaboration
The magic formula that sets us apart!

Imagine Instagram recommending you join Tumblr if you want to share text-only posts.

It would never happen.

Yet, pixelfed.art (a Pixelfed instance) recommends mastodon.art (a Mastodon instance)

Imagine no capitalist competition,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man

@dansup @jelv Collaboration and sharing is -in the long term- better for everyone.

In that light I just have to point everybody at this classic work again, The Cathedral and the Bazaar, by Eric S. Raymond.

(yup, he screwed up his certificate, but alright...)

I bought a paper version years ago, because I prefer reading paper, but you can read it online too. Completely free, of course.

@dansup Talking about community and collaboration: would be nice to see the sources of the mobile applications. And for the javascript assets, too: github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/i

The matriarchy was based on collaboration, peace, no social classes, no exploitation of humans by humans.
The patriarchy is based on competition, violence, war, love of guns over love of humans, inequality.

Community + collaboration not only for Mastodon but as a well-known ancient model again for the new society, beyond patriarchy, capitalism, fascism.

What works well for the Fediverse, works well in other places too.
Love & peace

I am implementing it now to provide another kind of #fediverse server. I am very thankfull for your work in the early days. This makes it a lot easier for others to create #activitypub servers now.

#thankyou
