Media are calling the Fediverse a failure because they want it to fail—and they believe if they repeat the same narrative, it will some day come true.
But they were wrong about the Internet in 1995 when they called it a novelty.
They were wrong about social media in 2008 when they called it a fad.
They are wrong about the Fediverse now.
11 million people are here now.
12 million people will likely be here next month.
Most startups wish they could “fail” like we do!
