Again? I thought fediverse is a fairly new concept
I think the meaning is that humanity will connect again and the location of that reconnection is the fediverse.
Though, tbf, the fediverse is similar to the old internet, consisting of small, interconnected networks. So you could say this is happening again.
Capitalistic forces undermine real tools for human connection. They're sole focus is to extract value, and that is incongruent with a healthy network. Fediverse and other p2p tech will definitely be the foundation for a future web.
All this has happened before, and all this will happen again
