That's why I'm asking.

idk, I think a few definitely will, however I think it will be like Netflix where people accept it until lemmy/kbin/fediverse as better options all together.
lol, reddit admins are putting down the resistance on 2010 meme pages.
It's a never ending debate on how to "onboard" new users with all the growth. Honestly I'd think it would be easier to compare it to email. like a simple look it all works together just get a account and it will federate. It doesn't matter too much where you sign up your account it's able to send and receive email from everyone. But, everyone gets overwhelmed by choices and not knowing the difference between servers. Something like a email app where it gives you a list to pick and a other option would be good imo.
It's because a system where everything is controlled by one person is so commonplace that any other idea seems foreign and impossible, or more often these days not profitable.
web3 was always a cryptocurrency scam and was doomed to fail. Federation is more a return to the early web with a way to link everything together to compete and get similar services to megacorps while distributing costs.
I think having the defaults set to global instead of local when searching will make it easier for new users to find communities and only show a few lemmy instances that are good to show for new users, the biggest complaint is that lemmy ( and all federated services ) are too complicated trying to find a instance.
Peertube, is a good alt, https://joinpeertube.org/en_US it works of bittorrent to save on bandwidth and federation is used to save storage space.
I'd think it would be a hard sell. But, it's hard to see other revenue models.
What the fuck is this... I both love and hate it. it's amazing.
