The Fediverse is Already Dead

Despite the grim title, it's a wonderful, thoughtful, hopeful piece by @noracodes on what fedi was and what it has become. And what the future can hold.
Highly recommended. Especially for those of us who are, like me, struggling with what "The Fediverse" is supposed to mean these days.
In a world where fedi is more of a set of sometimes-connected communities it's much more important to make the choice of community(ies?) to be part of less permanent. Already today people fret a lot about the choice of instance to join and sometimes join none.
(Somewhat tangentially related, I found the description of desiring a community while having doubts about it in https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/kritzer_05_23/ though-provoking, in that it describes an, I think, common problem that is rarely described in this fashion.)
