@kissane great article!! it was a super interesting read on why people decided the fediverse wasn't for them
as much as I appreciate fedi and it's lack of algorithmic recommendations (and sometimes more organic discussions but YMMV on that one) i do think that to some degree, some of the points laid out here and some of the choices mastodon instances make are why some people decide to stick with Twitter (as much as Elon has been messing hard with that site) or BlueSky
(tho imo i'm still not sold on Threads frankly, just feels like an extension of the instagram experiment, and i don't use instagram for tech stuff)
as much as some fediverse denizens would love it, i don't think the wider public values old style niche forum discussions as much as a lot of us here (self included) do
