At the moment the internet is flawed, do you think the fediverse is the solution?

    No. Fediverse is great by design, but is too complicated at the moment (maybe it’s just how platforms are set up at the moment).

    The design is not too intuitive in looking at other posts from different instances/servers.

    For example going to this post:

    No it turns the problem from your account being owned by a company looking to turn a profit to random people on the internet. If we had a way of downloading our accounts and transferring instances then maybe.

    since there isn’t any strong way to collect data or advertise it will always be an underdog compared to big business.

    that being said, the fediverse could outlast a few mainstream networks and build lasting strength with that. I’m an ideal setting it could become a defacto network over time.

    can we get young people coming here though? that’s how we get the tides to turn

    Probably not replace, but certainly it could be a viable and thriving part of the picture. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having options.
