The author claims decentralization is a questionable goal, but fail at explaining why. Claims we need something in the middle, like what? He tries to link decentralization to cryptocurrencies and defis, etc... very sneaky, but lazy argument. Decentralization means freedom, self determination and power, power to host your content on your own terms, or in a place that is friendly to you, and exchange ideas with people in other communities, where they also own their data. You can have people on @socialist.social talking with @billionaries.social , but one party can't make the other disappear just because. His other argument is against Mastodon technical design, I agree , I wouldn't pick the stack the Mastodon team chose, that said, there are many activitypub enabled projects, GoToSocial, Misskey, etc... which are more resource efficient, so the failure of one project , is just a learning opportunity for another newer projects. Regarding "unpaid labor and opsec", people can rent a server from a provider that guarantees updates and uptime, or host their own, in the same way is done across the industry. I'm not claiming this is what the author is saying, but most of the criticism I see of the Fediverse comes in the flavor of "Look all those people I don't like and can't get banned, how dare them to share their ideas, let me start complaining to make them disappear".
