The hot new thing in social media has some big problems.
apart from the fact that this is 6 years old , this reads like someone who didn’t understand federation and just wanted and expected the same experience as non-federated sites
like he says that the fundamental point of the platform is a flaw that needs to be rectified (read, ‘centralized’)
also a complaint he had was that it didn’t have celebrities on it, and considered this (and it not having a big userbase at the time) a flaw
I think he was looking at it as “the thing that wants to compete with/ replace Twitter”
