Thanks for the info! What I meant by that was that traditional social media has always lived and died by popularity. People congregated to the most popular and thus most active sites and forms because they offered the most chance for interaction and someone Seeing what you write. There's a reason why when everyone used reddit Digg faded to obscurity or when MySpace was replaced by FB. There's probably some real life examples of this kind of mass congregation of social human beings leading to towns and whatever but that's besides the point.

Federation changes the game in a fundamental way. No longer is the biggest centralized site the 'best one' instead a bunch of small instances can have more or less the same reach, content, and interaction as a big one. It will take some time for people who grew up with the rise of social media like myself to mentally adapt to the idea.
