Gregory's Server@darth_akeda I understand what you are talking about, but I fail to see the issue with this topic. It may fail or succeed, independently of where it comes from. (e.g. orkut, google+ in counter-comparison). The difference in what we have with Fediverse is that you can be a part of the solution, you can help build it in many ways, not so much with Big Media, which needs to cater to valuation.

@darth_akeda That is true, I don't see the Fediverse being for everyone, and that's also part of being decentralized, it's not XOR after all, but being open about it is definitely important. @Akelupe That is where we differ. I believe the Fediverse can be for everyone. There’s just many spaces (Mastodon) where there is a huge philosophical hurdle with the gatekeeping & HOA behaviour. The Fediverse is about choice & I believe the vocal minority has looked to stifle that. Anyways, it’s very important when discussing the Fediverse. People only here the praises then get here & have terrible experiences |
@Akelupe Google plus failed not for financial reasons and not a sensible comparison. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter have been going on 13+ years. The issue is only telling part of the story when it comes to the Fediverse. People can be apart of the solution but often times are not otherwise so many instances wouldn’t shut down. The Fediverse also caters to a certain type of user
