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

Personally I am sick of reading that the feddiverse is confusing and never going to take off or never going to do this or that. Even if it’s true, which time will tell. It’s like the same article over and over. I thought your blog was just any other random article like “What is the feddiverse? Well it’s this and it’s cool but it’s overhyped”

Maybe those of us who are trying to make Lemmy, mastodon etc happen are too sensitive about it 🤷🏻‍♂️

The Fediverse isn't confusing imo. I don't think it's overhyped at all, either. “Cool” doesn't even begin to describe how awesome all this is. Seeing the numbers go up and up, more people joining, making this a nice place fills my heart with joy. I just don't see it becoming a mainstream thing even though many people probably want it to be mainstream.

I would love to say this post was dead-wrong in a couple of years but only time will tell.
