Fediverse

I completely agree. The goal for the Fediverse is to be sustainable. There's no point worrying that it's not growing as fast as commercial networks, or that it doesn't have the same mainstream penetration, or whatever it is people worry about. The only thing that really matters is that there are enough people to develop platforms and enough users to produce interesting content. This is already the case today, and things will only be getting better going forward as the Fediverse grows.

Maybe Bluesky will get more popular than the entire Fediverse and attract a huge number of users, and maybe it won't. However, I can guarantee that the Fediverse will be around long after everyone forgot what Bluesky was.
