I don’t think the Fediverse will become mainstream. But I’m actually happy about that. And so should you.

    A small reminder that clickbaity titles like this work against the author’s view for all the people who read just the title and scroll further. (And they’re not to blame. You can’t read everything)

    TL;DR of the article:

    Fall of Twitter and Reddit helped the Fediverse grow. Most users don’t know or care how Federation works and don’t realise the necessity of donations. Fediverse either remains niche or becomes mainstream, the future is not set in stone.

      That is a fair point, I’ll keep that in mind going forward, thank you

      Edit: I do want to add that skimming the title and voting based off of that is not how it should work. I would at least scroll to the conclusion, even though this article admittedly doesn’t really have one. Going forward I will make a clearly marked conclusion and summarize my pov better in the title to avoid confusion.
