    While I can see this take being more in line with a casual user who just wants things to work like they are used to on their old platform, I want to point out that the issues with Twitter and Reddit are because of centralization. Because eventually money becomes more important and one company controlling everything will do what brings them more money at the cost of user experience. Fediverse is an attempt at removing that control from a single entity and putting it on the users, giving them a choice.

    It has its problems for sure, but I think over time it will get better. I’m keeping an eye on bluesky waiting to get access and see how they are handling decentralization while keeping things consistent.
