<p class="intro">The present time is an interesting juncture in the history of the web. The prospects for the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/social-web-protocols">social web</a> appear brighter than ever, with former Twitter app developers switching over to supporting the fediverse.

This will rattle some chains, because movements built upon a foundation of federated social sites are likely to be more robust than the whimsical or illusory trends on Twitter.</p>

<p class="intro">So it's really down to us to keep things small and decentralized. To become the networked islands of organization in a chaotic world, and scaling out rather than up.</p>
