Did it? Oh really? Well if you consider email decentralization a great success, than I retract. Fediverse can totally replicate that "success".
I guess it already did. There's Twitter and long tail already. Mission accomplished.
- WorldMaker 6y agoYour sarcasm doesn't appear helpful here. I'm not saying it is perfect (it's definitely not), I'm just saying it is "time tested" and "sufficient" ("well enough"). Perfect is the enemy of the good, and all that. You already pointed out one attempted alternative and its many drawbacks. We don't have a "perfect" solution yet, and that's not a reason to stop trying to build one. I just don't think you should be so quick to criticize the Fediverse for using the well worn trail until someone builds something better instead of blazing a new one on their own.
