The core phrase of the blog post: “no one has done an especially good job explaining why the fediverse is better than centralized solutions”.

Feels to me that it’s all growing pains, we WOULD benefit for a federated auth system instead of an account on every service, and we need lots of bug fixing, i just wish all these social media shitstorms had happened a couple years later and not at this point…

    no one has done an especially good job explaining why the fediverse is better than centralized solutions

    Uhhh, because if a billionaire with god complex buys an instance, the rot won’t spread to the entirety of Mastodon? Because if an instance decides to start asking exuberant prices to use their API, it won’t spread to the entirety of Lemmy?

    The world has shown live and in colors why federation is better, you just haven’t been paying attention.
