@Otome-chan@kbin.social there's definitely been a disconnect between people who just want a reddit alternative and the intended audience of the fediverse i.e. people who want a decentralised internet. I'd wager that a lot of people who left reddit would have happily gone to another social media giant if it had the features they wanted.

@InduperatorRex the person I'm talking about seemed to be on a mastodon instance, actually. But yeah. Same idea. It was probably pitched as a Twitter alternative without clarifying the federation bit
