I'm going to stop you right there. When I look around Fediverse, I see people chatting with friends, making new ones, connecting with old ones, people sharing their fun, their fears, their anger, their sadness. I see people asking for help, offering to help, wondering if they need help. I see a microcosm of humanity.
I don't need to wait for Fedi to succeed, because, in my view. It. Already. Has.
Good points @strypey Also, several of us have set up our own servers where we read the posts, and these are probably not counted (my server gets counted in the Pleroma servers list). One of the lessons of the #Twittercalpyse is to set up your own presence in the #Verse, rather than rely on others allowing to play on their own playgrounds.
