What did you talk about? Like give me an overview I'm curious.

[–] aquinteros@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

The presentation went along like this:

  • context about social media and the problems with centralized models
  • some news articles about the reddit debacle and Elon being musk
  • overview of the dapps framework
  • the fediverse and the different apps in it
  • the concept of federation and how instances work

at the end I mentioned what I considered to be the most important challenges and steps ahead for the fediverse, thinks like escalation, funding, onboarding and moderation it was fun, the class liked it, i think some were going to try mastdon, it's a start!

Nice! You should've pointed everyone to lemmy.world and had them make an account right there lol. (Or lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, sh.itjust.works, lemme.ee, or any of the popular instances).

Okay maybe not that one. That would be sad, though. Hope they don't.

maybe, but lemmy is not for everyone, most people didn't use reddit either. i still showed a couple screencaps from the lemmy.world frontpage

Forgot about that. Well, I'm sure there's some instance they could've picked lol.

Isn't .world overloaded, and didn't .ml close sign-ups?
