but the instance thing is what /could/ make it /sogreat/ or a living nightmare /shrug
E.g. the issue with follower counts, discussion of making accounts more portable across instances, etc.

To be clear I think it's unlikely to kill Twitter, but it's silly to make predictions based on malleable features of the moment
-
Open source is a double edged sword but in this case the software has proved to be much more agile than Twitter's while dysfunctional mess
-
If necessary some amount of centralization can occur to fix problems (like follower counts) without making it a mess like Twitter, too
-
Yeah, being able to port followers would really make the whole thing a hundred times less complicated for users
-
also uncharted territory. You could always move your email address book, but changing your entry in other people's address books is tough
-
yeah it would need to be a thing where the instances all opt in to new protocols or services that solve these issues
-
which is, of course, the eternal struggle on federation. I suspect the ecosystem can support many instances but some now will shake out
