Somebody gave me this link earlier as to why they don't like the Fediverse, from the perspective of an user (cohost.org)

The core phrase of the blog post: "no one has done an especially good job explaining why the fediverse is better than centralized solutions".

Feels to me that it's all growing pains, we WOULD benefit for a federated auth system instead of an account on every service, and we need lots of bug fixing, i just wish all these social media shitstorms had happened a couple years later and not at this point...

Most of the socials that exist on the fediverse are still in beta or even alpha, it seems quite a bit too much to ask for complete federation out of the box. Mastodon gained traction last year, just think of how Facebook or Instagram were in their last first years of development

The Fediverse needs improvements, of course. But it also needs time and resources, and only with patience and coordination (and interest and money) we will get to a perfect working point :)
