It bothers me how rose-tinted this article is. It pours praise onto the fediverse while glossing over all the major problems. They also keep saying "everything is available everywhere", which it isn't, or "you can take your account anywhere" which isn't a thing on most fediverse sites, and where it is it's limited.
I dunno, it's good to be positive, but I feel this article over-promises and fails to explain what is is trying to. If anything, it muddies some of the basics and sets people up to leave as soon as they realise the experience isn't all that or that instances don't work how they think.
