We've put a ton of effort into making sure the Web doesn't fragment at the protocol/interop level, but the most important part of the entire Fediverse exercise is how that interop level empowers people and communities to make their own choices.
I think that a Balkanized fedi is the best, healthiest possible outcome.

CURATOR - Animated Short Film
A short film I made over the course of a couple of months. It’s the first time I’ve attempted something of this size and learned a lot in the process. The texturing is all shader to RGB stuff in eevee along with freestyle for the outlines.Blender Artists Community

The expertise of UX designers is unfortunately still often undervalued, so we will try to share her work and show you all the things an experienced designer sees that we often miss or don't even think about.
She will work on making educational content more accessible, interactive, and interesting.

In other places, I still think a standard tag should be used, although it would be nice to have a language-appropriate tag, such as #publicité on French posts, alongside or instead of a global one.
Hashtags give disclosure and allows filtering. I think they're a pretty good mechanism.

I'm strongly against AI-art, and a SF zine who is publishing one of my stories has a need for HUMAN MADE ART (this is a paying gig), but the deadline is very tight on this. So I'm putting out my feelers to anyone who is an artist or knows someone interested in doing cover art for a SF magazine (deadline: May 28th).
Email me (susankayeq@gmail.com) for details. Thanks for sharing!
