@malin yeah, if you need to compromise everything to go mainstream then we should delete all the servers tomorrow and join Threads directly.
I think Fedi is as mainstream as it's going to get - the kind of people who might try it will have heard of it somewhere. After that there's never going to be a big push or anything.
Some people want it to "win" and that's ok but it doesn't mean it's a mistake for others to not want to sacrifice anything to that.
@davey_cakes I have no idea what the future holds. Some people thought email would never become mainstream.
But I hope fedi grows, at a natural pace. Having one account to follow image posts and videos is very convenient.
