It’s interesting but I still think the federated universe still has too many quirks to be understandable by most people. To be honest, I haven’t bothered documenting myself so I might say stupid things but I can’t understand why identity is tied to a server, it seems like a terrible design mistake when it’s obviously the first thing i’d want to decentralise. In short, I’m me, it shouldn’t matter that I’m on beehaw, lemmy or some random mastodon or kbin server. Huge mistake imho.
Then the content obviously needs a lot more contributors but many of the good reddit contributors where also mostly tech illiterate and I’m still worried that the high complexity to enter the fediverse will put off many people and keep it a fun, but somewhat boring, little niche.
