Even though millions of people left Twitter in 2023 – and millions more are ready to move as soon as there's a viable alternative – the fediverse isn't growing.1 One reason why: today's fediverse is unsafe by design and unsafe by default – especially for Black and Indigenous people, women of color, LGBTAIQ2S+ people2, Muslims, disabled people and other marginalized communities. ‌

Okay, since you make me search for it, here:

As I say in the article: Despite these problems, many people on well-moderated instances have very positive experiences in today’s fediverse. Especially for small-to-medium-size instances, for experienced moderators even Mastodon’s tools can be good enough. However, many instances aren’t well-moderated. So many people have very negative experiences in today’s fediverse.

This is what I interpreted as „come a long way“. Make of it what you will.

And to your other claims: start asking yourself why the others are „better“ in your opninion but don’t have high adoption. The answer is pretty straight forward as you have been told by everyone else in this thread:

Mastodon and the fediverse works like a charm. People love it. But we need to stay focused to improve and steel against human nature.

Have a good one.
