Could not agree more with just about every point this guy makes. I honestly think that federated services just do not work for some use cases. Primarily, social media. Kbin is working great as a replacement because it is far more centralized. The majority of the content is here, and the integration with the broader fediverse is a bonus.
I've been using Linux and FOSS for as long as i can remember. But decentralized services are not the be all end all solution that the FOSS community always seems to think it is.
