Twitter, but federated

Convince me I am wrong: “The Fediverse proved millions will leave commercial platforms when given a reason. But Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube, and the rest mostly recreated the same social architecture people wanted to escape: timelines, follower counts, virality, engagement loops… just federated. The migration was sociological, not architectural. People wanted out, but what they got was ‘Twitter, but federated,’ not a fundamentally different shape of online life.”
