This turned out to be lot more entertaining than I thought it would.
And quite informative, actually. Well worth a read - even if just to contemplate where SN might (or might not) - fit into the fediverse.
From the articke:
We really can’t do any better than that?
You’re preaching to the choir here, my friend. Some people are trying to make “open social web” happen, but I think we’re stuck with the fediverse. Good news, though: if this thing really works out, you won’t have to ever think about it again. You’ll just use your apps, and the fediverse will make them awesome.
I was excited about mastodon years ago, then had one account after another get disappeared, banned for "disinformation" for saying ivermectin and vitamin c would be good to have around. And disappeared for promoting Bitcoin on Lemmy, which those communist fucks can't stand. All my posts and replies, gone.
Even on NVK's Bitcoin mastodon we suffered similar, when he wanted nostr only and killed the server -- before the deadline to archive our data even.
Anyway, there was really nothing I liked about mastodon, in the end. I no longer reddit or twitter either
SN has filled the void,

SN has filled the void,
To some degree, sure.
For example, I'm not aware of an easy way to export/download all of your SN content. (It may be on the SN roadmap, I don't know?)

I think ""tech"" ""journalists"" often have a serious contempt for their audience. There's something about most tech writing for ""normies"" that always treats them as complete children who aren't compatible of understanding new technology - the fediverse is email guys, it's email but twitter.

Not too sure what you're getting at here. Are you saying the article I linked has "contempt for their audience"?
