    No. I’ve got a bunch of friends who are just as techy and nerdy as I am, and they won’t move. “Yeah, Reddit sucks, but I’m not going to change.”

    They didn’t go to Mastodon either, just Bluesky, which infuriates me, as it’s just another walled garden.

      just like RSS feeds did not become mainstream while Reddit did, the current state of the fediverse will not gain mainstream popularity; however, it’ll serve as a stepping stone towards a new federated internet that’ll be seamless and intuitive for non-technically-inclined individuals and those who are indifferent to the implications for privacy and digital freedom.

      97% of people will only jump from walled garden 1 to walled garden 2

      They will eventually. They probably just don’t wanna build up communities. They just wanna browse memes. That’s valid! Just means we gotta do the building.
