What should a fedipunk-novel be about? (fedipunk = solarpunk+dezentralized social media) (feddit.de)

I posted one of my stories here and got as reply that it was bio-punk, because it introduced the Fediverse as a fungi-network.

Now my question is: how should it be depicted in a solarpunk world, especially if it should be understandable to readers from centralized social networks without too much explanation (ideally none). If thought fungal networks would be the perfect metaphor here. Would love to hear some feedback on this.

Really like the town example; thinking of fediverse server as towns is cool. Although one shouldn't overdo it, because that's exactly the point of the Fungiverse/Fediverse: to connect people that are not locally at the same place.

I think adding an additional action is needed for defederation. It could of course be solved by many people concentrating on defederation, but then: what if a myzel has a leader. The members could just defederation without telling them.

I think it would be cool if leaders could be declared by them eating a certain mushroom, which grants them certain abilities like defederation. Of course, there might be myzels in which everyone can defederate. So basically the mushroom-eating-idea would allow more diverse forms of server-governance, which I think would be cool.
