even if it doesn't get better in the coming days, i have hope that it will get better steadily over time. the fact that recent events have given the concept of federation more publicity is a step in the right direction. when the social media giants inevitably screw over their users again in the future, more people will know where to look for better alternatives.

i feel that this is in no small part due to techy folks feeling more inclined to figure out these federated alternatives. it's still not very intuitive for the average person imo
