Re: "Why I don't use the Fediverse"
I agree with @mieum, decentralizing something doesn't really solve real problems like lack of trust or disrepsect for marginalized groups. If you don't trust the server's operator or moderation doesn't work (content is offensive/junk/...), it doesn't matter if it's a federated service. And you can't expect ActivityPub, as a particular solution for federation, to solve these problems.

in a mundane sense, open protocols are good like rss is good. Companies and governments can use them to publish data and we can read it in an open way. As a notification system and potentially a service desk, it does the job.

Why I don't use the Fediverse — 1. The technology sucks. Activity Pub is half baked, and was rolled out prematurely to create Mastadon. 2. Mastadon is a Twitter clone and Lemmy is a Reddit clone. I hate the originals. Why would the clones be better? 3. Mastadon doesn't work *at all* without Javascript. Lemmy barely works without it. *Puke!* 4. The people there are not nicer than Twitter or Reddit. Their mobs just have different political motivations. Never forget how Wil Wheaton fled Mastadon...
