@alex@gleasonator.com I am starting to believe that federative technology will never become mainstream or adopted en mass. First and foremost, people don't "get it". It's simple, but I genuinely think most people either don't care or are otherwise too stupid to comprehend what is being said. Ergo, it's difficult to market.

Furthermore, even people who do fully understand it don't actually like the reality of a federated universe. They might like the idea of federation, but ultimately they just want a small, tightly-controlled community of like-minded individuals with spoon-fed content and heavy-handed moderation. The people who don't want that are usually of the other extreme: they don't want any moderation whatsoever. And most of those people are societal rejects and constitute a minority of users.

There are no normal people here.

As for me? I just want Misskey markdown to fucking work consistently.
