"#TheFediverse doesn’t need to be one thing, that’s its strength. But if we let the #bridges decay, we lose the possibility of cross-pollination, of radical ideas seeping into #mainstreaming consciousness… Instead of fighting, as we do, to make one version of the #Fediverse dominant, maybe the real work is in keeping the network alive, messy, imperfect, but always connected. Because it’s in those #connections that real alternatives grow."
