I honestly think it sure will. People will probably go in 3 directions:

  • Mastodon
  • Wait for Bluesky
  • Wait for Instagram “Threads”

Honestly, if people go fediverse way, they definitely should choose something like Misskey/Calckey. They’re much better options than mastodon IMO

    Like Friendster and Myspace, those two grandly important pieces of the modern social media landscape?

      Friendster was a flash in the pan and didn’t really have much buy-in from corporations, etc. Myspace was only truly popular for about 4-5 years, and even at its peak it never reached Twitter levels of popularity. Even still, the brand was strong enough to be sold and it still exists today. There’s even a streaming service that uses the Napster brand. Sometimes a brand becomes too valuable on its own to let die completely.
