As much as I try to sympathise with the author, he seems to suffer from a terminal case of Twitter-brain, where we all comment on the current-thing until we beat it into the ground and then find another current-thing to dissect to death. Some of us like to separate interest and usernames, without setting up a data mineable online profile. And what’s with Disord being touted as an alternative? It is ok for coordinating and communicating with your gaming buddies, but completely unusable for any forum acivity.

What the article doesn’t mention is just how much time the Fediverse has spent in its infancy, because the drive wasn’t there for certain stuff and people only worked on what they cared to work on. Grassroots development, compared to the FB social graph and whatnot, which had paid employees working on it every day, while Jim spent his weekends in his basement tinlering with ActivityPub or OStatus.

Not gonna lie, the article is right in the sense that the Fediverse is still rough on the edges. Hopefully the fact that everyone and their parents had to move out of most social media will make organizations reconsider investing government money into making them better.
