I'm still not sure that I "get it, " but it sounds interesting. Makes me think of the early millennial days of the World Wide Web, before it became the corporate Net.

Most people can probably relate more to phone numbers than mail servers. On the other hand… it's WordPress so the targeted audience may really have an idea about mail already :D

Wait, is David Prager in the Fediverse? I know that guy.

Amazing! When I first heard the word Fediverse, it somehow triggered a memory about the Starr Trek Federation. I’ve been part of the IndieWeb movement for sometime, and somehow don’t recall that term being in fashion when I was more active there. Open web was.

Does anyone here remember the name of one of the early attempts to decentralize Facebook connections through federated servers? Somehow I have forgotten his name and the name of the project. I know he died very young under suspicious circumstances.

My first thought was - the FEDs? Now? I still don't know what it does! I am toooo old.

Other real world examples of federated systems: international passports, driver licenses, debit/credit cards, phone numbers, money, DNA, the human body (organs have to work together), etcetera.

I thought it was some government thing to “help” you deal with them. LOL
