I also think it is up to the leftest communities already using the Fediverse to help power whatever lies in the future. All social networks today use, at its heart, concepts that existed since the earliest online boards in the 1980s.

I think the present day is similar to the early use of automobiles. The cars were there, but not the infrastructure. But once the roads and stations and mechanic shops were built, the cars were used more. We now have tens of millions of online servers used as phones, that we did not have even ten years ago. But full use of how they can be used collaboratively is still in its infancy. For example: collaborative servers, made up of tens of thousands of mobile devices dropping in and out of helping, instead of a fixed server, or cluster, used now. That would be a near future change away from current paradigm, but still possible for the current services to make the jump.

And I believe there will be explosive change and opportunities later. I also think there will be a lot of drama and disappointment too. But I believe in the success for communications
