The Fediverse

The Fediverse is a social internet, owned and operated by people. It is made of protocols implemented in projects that let users create instances that connect to one another. The Fediverse is the marriage of Free Open Source Software, the internet, and the people.

The Fediverse however, is not perfect. There are many problems with it, just as with every area of human endeavor.

Before we can solve those problems, we need to determine what they are, seek consensus on their accuracy, and prove the value of solving them. In this process, we may draw the attention of those who can develop solutions.
