Why does everyone keep thinking fedi needs to be the next "big thing."
It's great as it is. It doesn't need to be easier, or more widely adopted.
The internet used to be difficult to use and that acted as a filter to keep the brainless masses away. It's fine. It was BETTER back then.
The business mentality demands competition and unlimited growth, which encourages 'next big thing'.
The fediverse motivations are not necessarily business. So we can define what we want from it.
