Can anyone learn from Mozilla’s failure and find success in an open social web? »

This is part of a series of posts about the current state of Social Media.

I wanted to talk about these things before I get to the main point of my thesis: the “Fediverse” as a concept of “servers who can interact with one another” is antithetical to the open, social web. We need to go back to the drawing board and re-design our software in a way that creates bottom-up connections, instead of the current top-down approach.
