via
Fediverse Report
wedistribute@mastodon.social
So, this is purely hypothetical, but: if there was a dedicated podcast about the
#Fediverse
, what would you include in it? What should it feel like? What topics would it cover? ?

First of all: I wouldn't make it only about #
Mastodon
. I wouldn't make it mainly about Mastodon either. #
MastodonIsNotTheFediverse
.
I wouldn't even make it look like it's only or mainly about Mastodon. I wouldn't give the impression that the #
Fediverse
is "Mastodon and some other stuff that was bolted onto Mastodon that nobody really gives a damn about, but someone told me I'd better mention that but, like, idfc..."
Also, I'd split it up, at least into various sub-topics.
First of alll, I'd present Fediverse projects, one by one, in chronological order instead of in order of size, importance or popularity. I'd with #
StatusNet
(2008). Or if I were to only include projects that at least understand #
ActivityPub
, I'd start with #
Friendica
(2010). I might skip projects that have been discontinued (Red Matrix, Osada, Zap...) or abandoned (Anfora, reel2bits...).
Also, I'd ask devs, creators who aren't necessarily the devs (#
Diaspora*
, Friendica and Hubzilla aren't maintained by their respective creators, for example) and experienced users. That's better than trying to only do my own research.
That is, I might include a mini-series with important dead projects, for example to show how #
Hubzilla
and #
Streams
came to exist. Okay, this example could be covered with one or two episodes.
Depending on the target audience, there could be a tech sub-topic which could cover protocols or other technology.
Another sub-topic would cover culture. Again, not with a focus solely on one specific project. For example, #
ContentWarnings
and the necessity therefor aren't only a Mastodon thing, especially since other projects cover them in different ways, unbeknownst to almost everyone on ActivityPub-based projects.
#
FullTextSearch
is a hot topic only on Mastodon which didn't even have it until a few days ago. On most other projects, it's absolutely normal to have it. #
Quotes
are similar: On Mastodon, they're still being debated. Almost everywhere else, they've been available forever, and even quoting Mastodon toots has been possible forever.
I'd also look at #
AltText
and #
ImageDescriptions
from a not-only-Mastodon point of view to break with the general perception that an #
ImageDescription
always
goes into alt-text, full stop, because there's no room anywhere else.
A few episodes would be Mastodon-centric. One would be about the various stages of #
TwitterMigration
which pretty much exclusively led to Mastodon. Also, I might do an episode on how Mastodon newbies discover the Fediverse around #
MastodonSocial
by and by. And I'd certainly do one about how Mastodon users perceive and react upon the Fediverse outside of Mastodon and what comes in from there. Particularly those who either want the Fediverse to be Mastodon and only Mastodon or want everyone else out there to only do what can be done on Mastodon, i.e. forgo #
TextFormatting
and limit their posts to #
500Characters
, regardless of how many they could actually post.
The #
Threadiverse
in general and the #
RedditMigration
definitely deserve their own episode.
Another episode, later into the podcast, could cover cultural differences caused by how the various communities came into the Fediverse. There are the millions who have come over from #
Twitter
since late October 2022, and who have adapted parts of the old pre-Musk Twitter culture to Mastodon with little regard for anything else because they weren't even aware of there being anything else. There are the fresh arrivals who can't stop acting like they're still on #
X
, many of whom are pining for a #
Bluesky
invitation because it promises to be even closer to "literally Twitter without Musk". There is the "old guard" from Friendica and Hubzilla. There is the Threadiverse which basically continues to live the #
Reddit
culture in decentralised, non-corporate places now and tries to put up with hardly working moderation.
Last but not least, maybe a look at media coverage could be worth some episodes.
