Hello AKAcastor!

 A> On this topic - I have a book on my desk I haven't read
 A> yet, "The Modem World: A Prehistory of Social Media" by
 A> Kevin Driscoll, I suspect I will read a more cogent opinion
 A> on the topic there.

That's a great chronological journey of "online" communities,  
and more!


 A> I'm curious what else the Fediverse will bring to us, I
 A> know there is more to it than just Mastodon and Lemmy but I
 A> haven't looked into any other services.  I was surprised
 A> how quickly I took to both Mastodon and Lemmy, it took
 A> almost no time at all for me to find my whole experience
 A> got undeniably better than Twitter and Reddit had been.
 A> I'll still search Reddit for information someone may have
 A> posted, but I go to Lemmy for the conversation.

I never heard of Lemmy.  I thought "the conversation" is on  
FTN's!  :D

Mastadon is too bloated in my opinion.

Element is as far I would take the federated experience.
