Stumbled upon someone who seemed completely opposed to the idea of federation and the fediverse. Like, if you are opposed to federation then why are you on here? They seemed to be pretty confused about what the fediverse is all about and likely joined due to misleading advertisements.
@Otome-chan@kbin.social there’s definitely been a disconnect between people who just want a reddit alternative and the intended audience of the fediverse i.e. people who want a decentralised internet. I’d wager that a lot of people who left reddit would have happily gone to another social media giant if it had the features they wanted.
@InduperatorRex the person I’m talking about seemed to be on a mastodon instance, actually. But yeah. Same idea. It was probably pitched as a Twitter alternative without clarifying the federation bit
Yeah, though hopefully this changes a little bit over time and federated become a little more standard.
