Comment on The Fediverse has empowered me to take back control from Big Tech. Now I want to help others do the same. - Elena Rossini

  I’m betting on the Fediverse, just like I did on Reddit all those years ago.

  But, you are currently in a hype machine since you are on Lemmy. As someone who develops with ActivityPub now, there is not a big market for it at the moment.

  I expect it will grow, especially as identity management standardizes (I’m actually presenting about this at a conference a bit later today), but it will likely take time.

    Is the conference being livestreamed anywhere?

      No, but there will be recordings (ugh, hah). Actually had enough interest from those that missed it that I’m doing the session again tomorrow.

  I mean software development as a whole, probably. Just knowing how to code in a somewhat larger org can open up job opportunities later on.

  Fediverse specific…probably not. My cynical side thinks that most lose money/spend much more than we take in from the fediverse. Most projects are just passion projects with very little budget. But dont believe me, try it out! I want to be wrong on this.
