A Wikimedian from Fremantle, Western #Australia. I work for the #Wikimedia Foundation, and in my spare time am interested in local history and #genealogy, and write software that does stuff in those areas. I edit #OpenStreetMap and sometimes get away from the computer and into my #woodworking workshop.

"I think it's great that people are realizing if their social media app isn't talking to the fedi they needn't bother making it."

This is a bad take and you should feel bad for making it.

Snark aside: there's nothing magical about the "fediverse" and there's a lot to improve. Some of the ways that the fediverse has traditionally improved involved people going off and doing their own thing and finding ways to make it fit later.

@hrefna Good point! I think that one of the big shifts has been that people are wanting to be interoperable. I mean, they could've been adding RSS to their things for years, but it wasn't groovy so often got overlooked.
