Federated services are cool. They're not black magic, but they have their own issues that still need to be handled better for there to be mass adoption.

Every day, though, these federated platforms are being developed. Different users have different thresholds for what they're willing to put up with, and slowly but surely, more and more people are going to be within the expanding bubble of acceptability.
