  Until fediverse advocates stop thinking of people as simple minded, they will never understand the steps needed to be relevant.

  The main advantage to Bluesky’s architecture is centralized identity and distributed components.

  The centralized identity is key. Unless someone figures out a way to do this in activitypub, the fediverse will remain niche.

    That’s more or less what NOSTR is trying to achieve

  Until Mastedon can appeal to simple minded mainstream basic folk (which is a pretty good size of netizens) it will always be a niche group.

  I think the bigger problem is that the press starts from the perspective that Mastodon and the Fediverse is just for techie nerds and then fills out the narrative with supporting details and so unless those narratives are challenged Mastodon and the Fediverse will never be for normal people because the Tech press and the money behind it won’t let that narrative stick in the general public’s minds.

    there’s nothing wrong with Mastedon and everyone else covering it is at fault.

      I am not trying to argue this isn’t also true too, my argument is that the fediverse doesn’t have a marketing department so the framework of discussion around the fediverse in mass media will always be fit to whatever the most convenient narrative is for the corporate tech world.

      That isn’t to say the fediverse doesn’t also have existential accessibility issues on multiple dimensions.
