@proxeus @lumi Oh, federation was sold as a massive cultural golden bullet for a huge number of things that twitter was doing really badly at.
The fact that a lot of those issues still exist on the fediverse, and are now complicated and amplified by the nature of federation means that in my eyes, federation has "failed".
One portion of the fediverse came here to get away from "nazis". Another portion game here to get away from "librul snowflakes". Guess what? Federation didn't provide the nazi/snowflake free outlook on life they were promised. Instead, it added yet another layer of meta, debate, and dumb drama.
As far as I can see, basically no one who came to escape the tyranny of centralised management not creating the atmosphere they wanted has seen federation solve those issues.
