>Is the fediverse and it's software the future of social media
Probably not
>Why and what obstacles does it have to overcome
It needs better branding, first of all. Normies won't touch anything that has bad aesthetics. Then you need to get some high status people to use it.

It has to overcome "no content" and trannies, great otherwise.

>fediverse

trannies galore

You need to come on the other side of the great defederation wall.

>has to overcome "no content"
agreed. i feel like fediverse should be targeting real organizations and groups instead of randos on the internet. there are tons of groups out there that can really benefit from increasing visibility into what everyone is doing and collecting the info to show the world.

>targeting real organizations and groups instead of randos on the internet
so basically a group/movement centered fediverse within the fediverse. Building that and walling it off does make more sense than joining and defederating from everyone, despite the current culture.

>trannies
isnt the whole point of fediverse that you can simply move to server with no trannies allowed

Yes, the trannies all defederate from that server and you can't interact with them anymore.

so... what is the problem then?

There are three (3) types of fediverse users, with some overlap:

1. Trannies
2. Furries
3. LARP nazis who's personality is pretty much how much they like hitler

No sane person uses this software

this sucks because the premise is kinda interesting to me
mildly curious on how it ended up like this

They all got banned or had enough of twitter, so they're all obnoxious and mostly underage

the people that can really benefit from things like fediverse and decentralization sadly are not very aware of what it is. some MZs who spend their whole life on the internet think it'll solve their problems but they just bring their problems with them.

is it possible to federate with a few instances you like and then close federation, or would that block the other instances you follow? At least then you're not in a total gab/truthsocial situation

You can federate/defederate whoever you like.

Because trannies are delusional and thought twitter was going to exterminate them (this started the whole thing) and the nazis all got thrown of twitter and needed something new.

There are some instances which don't fall into those camps though...

>thought twitter was going to exterminate them
The origin of Mastodon, yes. I think misskey predates them though.

You forgot the lolicons.

Fediverse ended up being a dumping ground for the various things that Twitter banned or the people who were too histrionic to use Twitter - leftists who think Twitter is secretly right wing and transphobic, neo-nazis and volkish pagans, lolicons, the weirdest furries, etc.

>lolicons
No he didn't.
They are either Nazis or trannies, no exception.

But he *did* forget the "I actually want to fuck real kids" pedophiles.

>fediverse needs to be flooded with npc to be good
never use that network we dont want you

correct, it has that old Any Forums vibe, that putrid stench of weapons grade autism fermenting next to freshly grown memes.

if most fediverses are Any Forums, then is Any Forums reddit?

there is no problem at all

>tfw Diaspora is defined by none of these three
Diaspora got off well in that sense. The people there are chill.

old Any Forums, pre reddit Any Forums when it had creativity and fun at the expense of the perpetually offended, back when Any Forums had literally no mods, back when you could dump admin creds and they'd stay up for several hours next to a loli doujinshi dump thread while people defaced the admin panel by uploading futas and loli.

I think the fedi is more like Any Forums's twitter, on rare occasion it can be upstream of Any Forums.
>then is Any Forums reddit?
does less worse jannies = good?

fedi is like Any Forums if done via email over the web but everyone can set up thier own server very very trivially.

fedi on a technical level and far more importantly on a cultural level is the web's usenet, all of it, including the good, the bad and the ugly.
