Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

I know there is revolt as a FOSS alternative to discord but it's not federated.

The only way for people to move is for the other platforms to:

  1. Offer something that others don't.
  2. People are already there.

You saw this all the time on Reddit, people said they won't try anything new unless it already has a community as big as Reddit, but if this is the default opinion, how does anything new emerge?

I also love Matrix, but I know zero people who use it because everyone is just on Discord because everyone else is there.
