\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It was a good Thanksgiving break. A week ago I had a cold. I thought it was COVID. It was not. Yeah! 😊<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was just a cold with a great mix of burnout. But, it gave me time to just lay there. And laying around just thinking can be fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought about how the tech industry is having a readjustment. I thought about how I have been lucky to have been witness to the Internet’s many transformations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought about how in each one of these periods of big change there was always a big winner based on use case was dominating that industry at the moment. AOL, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok. And now, the Fediverse? Will ActivityPub<\/a> be the next key to re-invent the industry? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each of these moments, the one that re-invented the industry defined the new normal. They were the new leaders. They were the trendsetters. And the old guard was disrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question is, can the Fediverse do the same? Can it re-invent the industry? And if so, how?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some thoughts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standards and open build on Internet protocols have been key to the evolution of the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users are becoming more sophisticated about living \/ sharing part of their lives in digital spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The business model of the Internet is evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platforms that have been built on the backs of user data are being called into question. And, the data that is being collected is becoming a liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic, the creator economy, digital communities, even crypto are making users aware of their digital value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fediverse could be a viable alternative to the current platform model. It could provide a way for users to finally own their digital data. Take part in the business of their personal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ActivityPub could provide a way for users to connect with each other in a more sustainable way. Where the platform is not the only one benefiting from the user’s engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
