Is it more important that publications post on the Fediverse, or that they don't post on X?
@evan i think it just entirely depends where their audience is and what they're trying to do
@kim Elaborate!
@evan i mean its one of those "why do anything?" things to me
if i was going to, say, try and influence mainstream trans rights discourse then the place for that is X as that's where the media and politicians and pressure groups post. and there would be very little point in doing it on fedi as those people are not on here
if i was going to try and build a community around something related to open source technology i'd do it on fedi as thats where the community for that is
a lot of artists tell me theyd love to be on fedi but have to be on instagram for career reasons (thats where all the galleries / curators / fans gather) and cant be doing with being in more than one place
i think everyone just goes where they think the most receptive audience is for their work and fedi is only that for a precious few things
i think most people would rather not have to use social media at all lol
For Social experience design (SX) I use this simple notion of a sociosphere and a technosphere, where the latter should support and help satisfy the needs in the former.
An observation is that in society, generally speaking, we give too much credence to the technosphere, take innovation-equals-progress as a given, to which we must subsequently adapt ourselves. We tend to turn things around, where "digital transformation" suddenly means how humans must adapt their lives to new technology that comes to disrupt it.
The poll is phrased in the technosphere. In the sociosphere my publications should simply reach their intended audience.
By whatever technical means are most appropriate for that.
In the technosphere 'fediverse' is just a category word according to SX. In the sociosphere we are modeling prosocial solutions, and things boil down to specific social networking requirements in our solution design, that satisfy particular stakeholders' needs.
🫧 Social coding commons@smallcircles@social.coopIt depends on context. A generic category word, similar to web and internet, when referring to the technology side. An online social networking environment for people when referring to the socio-cultural side.
