4 days agoI’d say these fall into the same trap that most fediverse explainers fall into — too focused on implementation details, not the experience. The average FB user thinks they’re connecting to friends directly, not really considering the system architecture that powers it.
I’d like a graphic that shows how centralised media blocks connections to others outside thier walled garden.
Largely similar to what you have, but abstracting away the metalware and reframing as human-centric.
If the user is at the center, surrounded by more users, making primary & secondary connections, in an approximate circle shape. You can then show traditional social media owners as wedges of that circle, containing (owning) a fraction of the users & preventing connection to others, vs. Fedi that lets you connect to everyone.
