When people outside the Fediverse tell me that the Fediverse doesn't work

Some other slapping jokes I've heard:

- nobody likes it
- nobody uses it
- everybody loves commercial algorithms
- nobody likes to build their own tools
- nobody likes to build their own audience
- nobody likes to do anything time consuming nowadays (this might be partly true though, people are getting lazy or impatient, but still it's not like NOBODY does it)

Maybe it works better than fediverse for centralized information space manipulation, making users miserable and trying to addict them into passive content consumption... but it's a bit like trying to sell me getting hammered when I'm asking for a screwdriver and declaring it's great.
@byakushin
Whenever I've "ordered a screwdriver" it has almost always been my intent to "get hammered"
@RnDanger Arrrghhh that was pure art, and I just walked straight into it! Well played! :D
