Meta and other extractive social networks have the potential to bring extractive dollars, services, and a fire hose of content look/feel/expectations to the Fediverse ecosystem. These extractive resources would likely overwhelm the development of non-extractive federated solutions that come from the diversity of instances, actors, and interactions that are happening with the current populating of the #FediverseEcosystem.
How do environmental ecosystems prevent the loss of diversity?
The Fediverse is a developing ecosystem.
The objective is to see what can develop when extraction isn't the primary driver.
What social ecosystem services evolve when diverse views of how technology can interact and integrate are allowed to function without an invasive species with an extractive goal?
Yes, good work describing an ecosystem service for a #SocialEcosystem. #Reddit is an extractive social ecosystem. The #Fediverse is trying to be a thriving, sustainable social ecosystem without being extractive.
I've been trying to figure out what my share, in $$$ and/or labor, would need to be to make a #FediverseEcosystem work. Identifying ecosystem service types is important to figuring out how to make it sustainable while it grows.
