Man, I personally love the fediverse and I think it’s hugely successful. My benchmark isn’t Reddit though, Reddit is a failing to me. It’s the forums of the late 90s and 2000s. To me it’s the solution to the problem of starting communities. Or it’s difficult to start a forum these days because it’s not Reddit. You have to get buy-in from tons of people. Huge friction. Reddit and Twitter style but-in to new tags or new subreddits is basically zero friction. The fediverse solves that problem to me. You can create a forum that isn’t on Reddit now while having a non-zero chance at people joining, people that are in the fediverse that is. That’s huge to me because it felt to me like the internet was dying due to centralization. It was Reddit or nothing. It’s already successful in my view. Obviously it has a long way to go on UX, but it’s got so much potential.
