The problems are more precise as stated in the article :

Where is my community of people I want to publish and subscribe with ?

Alike Twitter actually losing half of its userbase.

What do I share with whom, do I give out much private information, would I get stalked or banndd, is there moderation, how is gatekeeping done ?

All these points seem taken care of by federations like Mastodon and alike where everyone is free to chose and quit an instance if not adapted.

Even the Twitter split is showing only different platforms for different people endeavours work.

Now from an OSS point of view, Mastodon and alike are complicated to keep track of.

It's the same for skype or Google Apps. No info whatsoever. For firefox they're copypasting the samd string in each releass notes.

There are not only big players, but you are only talking about them.

Consider the fediverse and alternative social networks. People who moved there are creating the change. And that is awareness and writes History.

I love the concept, it's like switch on/off buttons for your PC. I've read that there will be color themes, I hope for a dark theme though I like the blue plastic.

I can easily imagine how this will be a time saver for me by not having to stand by my PC, but for some programs to start I need to set command line parameters. Is it possible ? And what does the desktop app look like ? And what about macros? A lot of questions :-)

Very informative though some links are dead, the internet archive should be used for permalinks.

I didn't think finding incidents with a robotic arm. Future, what's coming ? I hope this website will stay up in front of the big corporations.
