    I’m not waiting to see Twitter fail. I’m just hoping that the federated alternatives for Twitter and Reddit will get more mainstream. And I must say that I’m happy with the way things are evolving at Mastodon and Lemmy.

      That’s actually a better outcome, quarantine the crazies in twitter and/or reddit while the mainstream happens in the fediverse.

        The mainstream ARE the crazies now, though. The outliers, and only some of the outliers, are sensible, smart people.

          That’s a sad commentary of our society as a whole. :( but still, the optimist in me wishes it were reversed.

      I don’t see Twitter failing. Perhaps this is just going according to plan too. I think the more likely case is that it becomes something like a social network version of Fox.

      That’s actually a better outcome. Quarantine the crazies in twitter while mainstream discussions takes place in the fediverse.

      Im pretty bummed Blue Sky chose to write their own protocol. Many of my friends who are not techie chose to go there rather than learn the fediverse.
