reddit was radically different in 2007 than it is in 2017, vs 2027. so is the entire internet at large. the majority of internet traffic is now mobile devices and it will probably even be a starker majority by 2037.
Reddit was a centralized vc-funded social media from the start. That always was and still is the problem with reddit (enshitification etc.)
The Fediverse is none of those things. We have the power. As long as there are good people in the Fediverse, that want and are willing to do great things with it, the Fediverse (or at least a portion of it will be great.
Think of the Fediverse like E-Mail. Shure, there are shitty E-Mail providers. But if you are unhappy, you can just switch your provider and still talk to anyone that has E-Mail. There is no way for a single bad actor to ruin E-Mail for everyone, because there is no one fully in control over E-Mail.
for now.
in 5 to 10 years? who knows.
