Beyond technical features: why we need to talk about the values of the Fediverse (part 1) (blog.elenarossini.com)

The Fediverse has been teaching me how to be a better digital citizen. Actually, let me rephrase that: without the shadow of a doubt, the Fediverse has made me a better digital citizen.

You may have heard in passing how Fediverse networks are considered to be “ethical social media” – but this description has rarely been followed up by an explanation of how and why. I’d like to give it a shot, through the prism of my personal experience.

The Cathedral and the Bazaar is considered a classic, but it's been 20+ years since I read it. I'm curious how well it holds up.

I was trying to recall some points from C&B and I realized I was muddling much of it up with The Hacker Ethic by Pekka Himanen from the same era, so apparently that made an impression as well.
