Regardless of the negative aspects, Meta joining the Fediverse will definitely make the numbers of active users explode. This will probably bring the network and its concepts to many people and also a matter of public debate.

    Unlikely. Maybe a few years down the line but the fediverse isn’t mature yet. Aside from mastodon and maybe firefish most sites are still in beta and missing features and quality of life. Even Lemmy is missing things like tags and a proper on-boarding experience. Things are slowly trudging along but I think the average person won’t take you seriously when you say the fediverse is an alternative that’s as good as the social media they’re used to.
