End capitalism 👊
Northbridge Boi #WeAreNorrebro - He/Him
Who I want to be when I grow up: Dolly Parton. The Doctor. Any of the Mythbusters. A guitar player.
Who I am now: Bad guitar player. Believer in the idea that society is a thing built by the powerless to keep the powerful in check, and that #politics & policy failing to reflect this are incomplete at best.
I enjoy overanalyzing #PopCulture and building weird, practical and/or funny sh*t #maker #3Dprinting
@atomicpoet @fediverse @Coolmccool It doesn’t, not even close. It’s way too abstract, even for me - I absoutely guarantee you, nobody looking for an alternative to keeping up with friends on Insta or Facebook will be able to connect what you just said to that need / desire, let alone make a decision based on it.
@atomicpoet @fediverse @Coolmccool I think you’re missing the point - it’s not “what is PF/Masto/whatever”, it’s “how do they relate to each other, exactly, in a way I can understand & benefit from?” I’ve been in fedi for a few years & have, in fact, been asking the stupid questions, but I still don’t quite understand either…
@atomicpoet @fediverse @Coolmccool That’s what I mean - I think you’re missing the point. I don’t think anyone is expecting every developer to also be able to explain the usefulness of the fediverse to casual users, but some of us do feel, I think, that there’s a lack of fundamental recognition that developer explanations are beside the point as far as most regular people are concerned, which can cause the unwelcoming impression for non-devs that we hear people talk about fairly regularly.
