@J12t It absolutely does have that potential, which is the only reason I am here. But I am very troubled that except for some clients, the fedi has not broken out with developers as many assumed it would. Most activities still revolve around a few AP platforms. Remember all the blogging platforms we had popping up 10-20 years ago? And all those plugins, languages and libraries around them? I was hoping for that kind of explosive dynamism here. I worry about stagnation.
@shoq I hear you. IMHO the market circumstances are not here yet where the fediverse can "break out".
Most importantly: the fediverse does not know (yet) how to attract the about 100x in money it needs to have any chance at breaking out.
Eg., money is needed to attract highly qualified people who know how to build and market products that can break out, and they can justify to their families why they work on this instead of something else.
But: IMHO we'll figure it out in the next 12 months.
