Two part post (part one, part two) on the values of the fediverse. I'm of two minds on this. First, the values described here are also my values. But second, I don't think you can describe 'the values' of an online community. But having said that, these posts take a different approach: looking at traditional social networks (and citing Jaron Lanier) they observe how the structure of the network creates a set of values and expectations from users. In the case of traditional media, it's "ME ME ME LOOK AT MEEEEEE". The fediverse was designed to embody a different set of values: genuine connection, privacy and consent, accessibility and (in part 2) mindfulness.
