Anyone who has been on the fediverse for more than a few years knows how these waves go. This one was the same just so much larger and with a larger bump in plateau. But we also knew this is how the tech press was going to cover the inevitable slump because they only know how to cover Silicon Valley techbro pitches which only understand a false dichotomy of “unicorns”/ “going to the moon” or “dying” for not doing so. The fediverse is not one entity much less company. I’ll take the wins and keep moving forward. I like being the underdog anyway. Best bright side is the VCs chasing the new shiny ball will maybe leave us alone and go back to doing their vulture capitalism play elsewhere. Unfortunately that may be to try to make fetch happen with crypto and NFTs again. #fediverse #TechMedia #slashdot #VultureCapitalism #Twitter #TwitterMigration
