This is great, I just cross-posted it to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com hopefully someone can post it to Reddit. It's really nice to see a intro to the concept of the fediverse that doesn't get bogged down with technical details.

My concern is that if the Fediverse becomes big enough to truly threaten commercial options, corporations will find a way to destroy it - through lawsuits, malware, or using their political leverage to encourage overly restrictive laws.

Literally what happened to reddit

It is too decentralized to be attacked. Torrents posses major risks to corpos, but still blooming

Great video! "It's all connected" might be a bit exaggerated though.

@gigachad Why do you think that's exaggerated? ... almost everything is connected, isn't it?

Well, I am not really familiar with other fediverse services, so maybe Lemmy is a special case. But I can't comment on peertube or follow someone on Mastodon. In theory it is connected, but in reality it's not fully implemented yet.

I’m pretty sure there are in fact algorithms in Fediverse code.
