I get the feeling that it's working pretty well

If you are benchmarking, sure, it's above par. But it had much more promise than that, and perhaps my mourning of it's compromised potential comes off as dismissive. I was on the standards committee for it and researched decentralized social network protocols full time for many years, so it's a bit personal for me. If only people knew just how much better things could be. I see it as a personal failure that I'm not better at communicating that vision.

This is where I'm advocating a lot. Btw, I took note on major challenges to overcome to be able to go much further than where we are now (and not slide backwards either). See: https://discuss.coding.social/t/major-challenges-for-the-fediverse/67

The majority of these challenges relate to social issues, btw. Or sociotechnical, if you will.
