Today in class, I taught my students about decentralized networks, I told them about the XMPP/Google story (see link) and ended with a demonstration of the #fediverse with Mastodon and Peertube.
They are Computer Grad students. They never heard about Mastodon.
I hope some of them will be curious enough to join and that you will warmly welcome them!

@ploum I have a sense that the worst thing to ever happen to the CS field is the perception that it's a way to get rich. Fewer people in the field are true nerdy souls. (And I see less and less dedication to coding as a craft).
@14mission : the problem is that the code is now a dedicated activity happening in a VScode window exactly like writing a text is happening into a Word windows.
There’s no intuition, no connection to what the computer really is.
