I've been working on an article about the Fediverse being anarchistic and how corporate social media has a history of co-option, especially in times of crisis. I am keen to get this out there very soon so if you know of any suitable sites that this could be submitted to, please do let me know. Thanks! #tech #anarchism #journalism #IndyMedia #SocialMedia #Mastodon #Fediverse #AskFedi

@MediaActivist I don't think that thesis lands, though.
Fediverse is engineered to focus not on users but on instances, if anything reinforcing authority in the hands of those operators.
It COULD have been anarchistic, but engineering choices were made, so that it's not.
@volkris Yeah, I address this in the piece, too.
