All the people debating me on Mbins history and various software are not getting the point: PEOPLE couldn't agree on how to run the fediverse, splintering it into numerous groups(for better or worse). These same people won't agree on the causes or solutions necessary for a massive cultural revolution as well.
To put it another way: Xkcd comic on standards
The fediverse wasn't the solution to humanities problems. It was just attempt #284747737 or whatever. It was a bunch of high ideals about "if we give the power back to the people, this time it will be different!" while completely forgetting that reddit mods were just average people too until they became powermods and that whole system got corrupted.
The fediverse will never bring about the revolution. The only thing that can and will is the will of the people.
