MODERATORS
IEEE publishing on fediverse topics is interesting. They’ve been around since 1963, basically invented half of modern tech, and now they’re writing about decentralized social networks.
The signal here is that the old guard is finally acknowledging that Web 2.0 isn’t working. IEEE has a reputation for being conservative. If they’re talking about fediverse, it’s not just a fad anymore.
Still odd though. IEEE Spectrum is probably the last place I’d expect to find people discussing Mastodon and ActivityPub.
