    I get that, you get that, but the masses will not understand that.

      Do they need to? How did people decide on MSN vs AIM vs ICQ? Google vs Yahoo? Ventrillo or Team speak? Skype vs Zoom vs Discord. They will go where their friends are primarily. And what suits their needs generally. Federation isn’t anything truly new. The massive centralized servers were. The fediverse is a return to form. Only better. Be on the service and server that suit you. No missing out.

        I liked yahooIM and AIM, but I also had MSN Messanger.

        I liked YIMs buzz feature. Imagine no matter what you’re doing, the audio mutes for a brief second, you hear a loud doorbell, and your whole screen, not just yahooIM, YOU COULD EVEN HAVE THE WINDOW MINIMIZED!!! Your whole screen would shake.

        It was very intrusive. I loved it.

          Oh definitely. But those of us that multi-messenger were definitely the exception not the rule.
