Over the last decade, people called for a new narrative regarding climate change. One that is less doomerism and more positive. They managed to do that. The same needs to happen for the internet.

Over the last decades with series like black mirror, we are still stuck in doom-mode even though we know that for some of these problems, dezentralized social networks could be the solution. We just need more stories that fill this vision with live.

I think spekulative fiction, which plays in a world in which dezentralized networks are established (either in the future, in an alt timeline or alt universe altogether) could do the trick. I call this "fedi-fiction".

Would you be interested in this and if yes - how could its creation be supported?

What would be the goal?

You cannot win people solely through rational arguments. Stories can help here especially if the Fediverse is still small. It could also motivate people already in the Fediverse to keep supporting it
