Fediverse hot takes:

  1. The only true client is the browser.

  2. Microblogging be damned.

  3. it’s the instances/servers that are federated, not the users (ie us) … and damn that too.

9) Like #Twitter and #BlueSky, the fediverse also likely has had its well poisoned ... by "tech libertarianism".

Twitter: "Nazi bar", BlueSky: "Crypto scam". Fediverse: "tech libertarianism fanatics".

You may disagree, but others, perhaps many (?) see it that way and feel that the virtues of a properly designed and managed centralised social media are superior to chaotic volunteer-run decentralisation.

Maybe we should be forced to "work it all out together in the public square"?
