Mediated networks and power dynamics in ATproto (merveilles.town)
Interesting thread that summarizes it well.
Prove it wrong: the fediverse is not as connected as we're told, and it's splintering even more now.

Does the concept of the fediverse act as a template for original apps that couldn't be done with non fediverse software?
