You've got a much more optimistic view than I do. That frustration is definitely there, but there needs to be a reasonable alternative for people to easily move to before you see any kind of exodus.
Right now, one doesn't exist. These also-ran projects designed by and for geeks don't really count.
- CivBase 6y agoLike I said, I don't know if the likes of Matrix and Mastodon will be our platforms of the future. However, they are blazing the trail. They demonstrate what is possible. There is a lot of churn in the world of online services. It's only a matter of time before someone else follows in the footsteps of Matrix and Mastodon, but figures out how to take it even further. Or maybe someone else will break through by following in their footsteps. Or maybe Matrix or Mastodon are just dark horses who haven't hit their stride yet. I don't know, but I do believe the future will be in decentralized services over centralized ones.
