A really insightful talk from Christine Lemmer-Webber, who has worked on ActivityPub and currently does work with Guile (programming language) in the Spritely Institute, among many other things.

She talks about fediverse, Bluesky, policies that threaten decentralization, a bit of history, age verification, and more.
