Some say other protocols have bigger budgets and are better at marketing.
I say: the Fediverse - by the people, for the people - has passionate advocates who use their talents to promote it, often without any financial incentives. It comes from the heart.
Before FOSDEM I asked my friend @sturmsucht - a super talented photographer - if he'd consider bringing his professional camera to take photos of speakers in the Social Web devroom. He did... and so did I.

I hope you enjoyed some of my pics from #FOSDEM's Social Web track. I have many more but I don't want to overwhelm your feed with them.
I have seen the fantastic photos @sturmsucht has taken and I cannot wait for him to share them. Keep an eye out and follow him.
Wishing you all a fantastic weekend! I can't believe FOSDEM was a week ago already 🥲

Gli ultimi otto messaggi ricevuti dalla Federazione

@evan The most common situation where one of my follows makes a follower-only post is where they're asking for advice, help or sympathy for a personal issue. I don't want my own followers to see my reply, as that could expose sensitive details about the issue. But I do want the OP's followers to see it, so that we all know what support we've already offered and can avoid spamming them with unnecessary information.
-
@evan Sure!
Does this wording make sense?
When you post a followers-only post, who do you expect replies from?
My own followers (MOF)
MOF + repliers' followers (RF)
Mutual MOF + RF
Something else?(Trying to be concise!)
-
@vanderwal actually, most social networks default to having Bob's reply visible to Alice's followers. That is how followers-only posts work on X, Instagram, and Facebook.
-
@evan probably. I don’t see that as an intrinsic problem. The constant broadening of the audience is one of the vices of commercial social media. Maybe Bob has 2 options , Alice’s followers or the (smaller) intersection. But he shouldn’t be able to widen it against Alice’s intent.
-
@aeva Autonietzsche.
-
Great idea; you should make that poll.
-
@evan In Friendica we have got the rule that the thread starter decides the audience. Especially when someone posts just to a selected group of people, we put then in cc and then the reply will go to all actors in cc as well.
-
@reiver so, like sitting in a room with someone while they talk on the phone, and you only hear their side of the conversation.
