       Eventually the fediverse will be seen as a communication platform for 50 year old geezers, their problematic, detached politics, and ancient jokes.

       Or maybe we'll be the oldschool hacker culture of the future and looked at in the same way that the BBSes of the 80s were

       @wizard Assuming Fediverse means mostly Mastodon, my guess is closer to livejournal culture than bbs culture - a little bit... softer/younger?I don't think the platform will age with its current users - I think they'll migrate toward different normie platforms as they age, while (after its peak) increasingly niche artsy youngsters and early middle-agers will join Mastodon.

       @emsenn I suppose it all depends on who your neighbors are, I guess. I do mean the fediverse; around my corner, half of the users are on pleroma while the other half are mastodon users with a few gnu social people here and there.I really can't see many people here migrating to more mainstream platforms, but I can definitely see us getting washed out by newer generations and at least being pushed into our own little corner of fedi, assuming we're still using social media at all.
