Various forum topics highlights big challenges for the Fediverse to overcome. Below there is a list of those, and all of them are within scope of Social Coding #foundations to contribute to solutions.
Challenge | Description |
---|---|
Lack of a shared (technology) vision | People just use the Fediverse in its current state without asking what it could be in the future. The potential and opportunities are insufficiently explored. |
Stuck Fediverse Adoption Lifecycle | A combination of factors make onboarding and “crossing the chasm” very hard, and combined with growing complexity in the ecosystem this stifles innovation. |
Hardly any Substrate Formation for the Fediverse | The technological landscape is fragmented and opaque, community is dispersed and not very collaborative, while the processes for evolving the ecosystem are immature or undefined. |
No proper representation of the Fediverse | With nobody able to represent the Fediverse, it is not possible to anticipate to developments elsewhere, reach out and collaborate with other communities, and follow collective strategies for Fediverse evolution. |
Complacency and intertia | Lack of awareness of the threats we face, and general inability to organize proper ways to mitigate them. |
