I'm happy to see new canadian social media like https://ehnow.ca/ and https://hey.cafe #canada

But so far, I still think #activitypub #mastodon and the #fediverse are the superior options.

Mostly because it's #decentralized and #federated

But most non-tech (normal) people don't understand those concepts.

They don't wanna deal with the fediverse because the learning curve is too high and they simply don't understand.

They just want something simple and that works.

@frank@social.fraxoweb.com yup you're right about that.

That's why any marketing for fediverse software should downplay the federation aspect.

It's important but not that important.

@julian @frank

The intermediate results of the #poll I started also strongly emphasize these points. What is nice is that people tell about their social experience, which is unique personal depending on individual needs and the social graph they have formed to engage with.

Decentralized + federated are merely technical characteristics. But they are enablers of something more.. true social spaces that evolve and intricate social contexts that intertwine in interesting ways.
