Substack notes + BlueSky indicates, to me, that some see this moment as the fracturing of social media into many parts, not its "federation" with one protocol.
Differences in corporate/profiteering strategy aside, there's a real user driven side to this (surely?) where branding, marketing and network effects will lead users into many niches before they realise that fracturing is bad.
I fear @evan 's scenario (https://prodromou.pub/@evan/110045602718122394) is not unlikely.
@evan
On your "big tent", @boris, what would you say to a "intolerance cannot be tolerated" style argument, inline with @evan 's stance?
IE ... it's one or nothing regarding decentralised social media protocols?
"Let them fight to find which is the 'one'"
"Diversity is good"
