Being decentralized is whats going to prevent this whole Fediverse from really taking off. Its a convoluted mess.
edit: glitch made me triple post
Which may also, inturn, keep it from turning into reddit or, god forbid, Twitter and Facebook lol. A little optimistic view I guess haha.
I think it'll sort itself out in time. I'm more concerned about the search function right now and incorporating all the instances/communities in a functional manner for new users with out needing to manually input stuff But I guess that's all apart of the federation thing.
Smoothing over some bugs is probably priority so it doesn't scare people away during this migration time.
The people/person that has to figure that out is definitely not me, that's for sure.
As a twitter refugee, mastodon is really confusing, and lonely. In which I have nothing on there to connect with other users. The thing that makes twitter have high user connectivity is a "trending" tab and quote tweets. Which does wonders for user connectivity.
In contrast, mastodon has none of those features that made twitter appealing to the masses. I understand keeping everything decentralized, but, some level of centralization is good for the userbase.
An example of this light centralization is lemmy, with its federation and "all" tab.
