The reason I believe #linux isn't widely adopted even though it is a superior OS alternative across many categories is because of the elitist pov from a vocal minority.
Even if someone wants to be a part they'll try to gatekeep their precious world.
re: The arguments I am hearing about #Threads and #Fediverse integration
@mountdiscovery Well I would say that it IS widely adopted in some communities and sectors while being almost absent from other communities and sectors, showing that it's not just about elitist POVs.
Every sector has their elitists.
I think it's more about the value proposition aligning sufficiently with the needs of the particular sector sufficiently to overcome inertia to tempt change.
So same thing here. The goals of Fediverse as a whole are a bit undefined, with different participants having different and sometimes contradictory goals.
Each potential change, such as the introduction of threads, gets measured against goals, and in this case the goals can be a little complicated because of that.
