The Fediverse is Not The Future of The Internet.
Twitter and Reddit. Arguably the biggest sources of fresh and current information at all. You want to know what is going on <em>right now</em>? Go visit one of the two and you’ll be up to speed in a matter of minutes.
![[Opinion] Why The Fediverse is Not The Future of The Internet. | uselessauth](https://lemdro.id/pictrs/image/467832b5-6b8f-4047-b4ff-3785e20f0706.png?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
I don't think the Fediverse will become mainstream. But I'm actually happy about that. And so should you.
You're viewing a single thread.
A small reminder that clickbaity titles like this work against the author's view for all the people who read just the title and scroll further. (And they're not to blame. You can't read everything)
TL;DR of the article:
Fall of Twitter and Reddit helped the Fediverse grow. Most users don't know or care how Federation works and don't realise the necessity of donations. Fediverse either remains niche or becomes mainstream, the future is not set in stone.
That is a fair point, I'll keep that in mind going forward, thank you
Edit: I do want to add that skimming the title and voting based off of that is not how it should work. I would at least scroll to the conclusion, even though this article admittedly doesn't really have one. Going forward I will make a clearly marked conclusion and summarize my pov better in the title to avoid confusion.
Regarding voting, of course, it should be done after familiarizing oneself with the post to some degree greater than the title.
I meant changing people's minds. While just the title won't convince people to think a certain way, it will remain in their minds as one of many opinions on the topic they encountered. And it's a shame if that opinion is the opposite of what the author has in mind.
That's true, I'll keep it in mind :)
