All true. And yet sadly until mastodon or better say another fediverse instance do have algorithms and a brain dead stupid onboarding and hyper cool phone apps, that will not do for 99% of the people.
There will always be two types of users: people looking to connect and people looking to be entertained. Fedi is better at the former and commercial better at the latter.
I would argue the latter group, searching entertainment, also known as "lurkers" are always the bigger group.
Yes absolutely, and that's why I don't think commercial ~~social~~ media will die. But I do think it will come to more be associated with activities gambling or vaping.
