Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts? - eviltoast

What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?

      I think it’ll be a balance. Less 90s internet and more ~2010 internet. Mainstream platforms will stay big, popular and centralised, but the internet has billions of users now. There can be massive thriving networks of people doing their own thing on platforms like Lemmy at the same time as millions of people flock to Twitter or Facebook or whatever.

      Yeah, I didn’t consider that. I guess it’s more unknown since it comes down to the economy and how things are in the future.
