This turned out to be lot more entertaining than I thought it would.
And quite informative, actually. Well worth a read - even if just to contemplate where SN might (or might not) - fit into the fediverse.

You’re preaching to the choir here, my friend. Some people are trying to make “open social web” happen, but I think we’re stuck with the fediverse. Good news, though: if this thing really works out, you won’t have to ever think about it again. You’ll just use your apps, and the fediverse will make them awesome.
