I remain sceptical about the fediverse for a number of reasons. Some may turn out to not be a big deal, I don’t know yet.
I worry about discoverability and search engine indexing, the main usefulness of Reddit for me was the ability to find answers to questions already asked by others.
I worry about the potential for federated servers to turn into small insulated islands, due drama between admins.
I worry that I’ll need to keep track of a multitude of accounts and websites on a fractured internet, what with lemmy and kbin and whatever other services show up.
Centralization has its issues, but it also comes with a great many benefits, and I’ll wait and see if the fediverse can make up the difference.
