What is the Vision of the Fediverse?

[aschrijver]

@mathewlowry

Is it just me, or are the majority of Fediverse apps copycats of existing successful walled gardens?
I mean, I get that this lowers the barrier to entry, but it also means there’s no reason for potential users to climb the barrier anyway, as all they’re offering is: “ It’s just like X, but without your friends! And it costs money! And it’s not as slick! ”

@mathewlowry’s question is related to the reason why I posted the above. Because I agree, and - innocent as it looks - the question on vision is a very important one, imho.

I came to ask this question following up to this topic I created:
