The difference between the Fediverse and a closed system like reddit is that it’s open and we’re privy to haphazardly implemented functionality and bad API documentation.

I work on big closed source web apps for a living; they’re just as haphazard and badly documented, it’s just all closed.

I don’t think anyone liked it. More like tolerated it because of a combination of network effects and it being less shitty than Facebook.

At least, that’s why I was on Twitter. People I wanted to follow were there.
