I’ve thought about it a bit and the Fediverse has been around for a while now. There are some really cool applications being made to replace the mainstream ones, but they just aren’t taking off.
Why do you guys think that might be? Ease of use? Addiction to the mainstream platforms? Lack of marketing?
The worst part is that there are tons of actually terrible people on the fediverse, but Wil Wheaton accidentally blocked some trans people that one time and he’s cancelled for life from Mastodon. I actually saw someone bragging about having helped to bully him off of Mastodon the other day.
that’s sad and those people shouldn’t use inclusive services like the fediverse. They should found their own small echochamber and let other people be.
