The real question is: Why big characters in the libre software culture are not promoting/use it?
Who are you talking about?
Guessing he means folks like Moxie Marlinespike, Popey, Torvalds, Cory Doctrow (though I think he's on Mastodon actually), etc.
Also social networking is a minor additive, not that important. Add to this, if none of your friends are on it, why do it in the first place?
The main aspect is to share the fediverse culture and spread the news anywhere, otherwise, it will be difficult to see many people into it.
Because the fediverse has no vision.
Afaik some of the fediverse aspires to replace big tech
People like habits and don't like to get out of their comfort zone. Or the "Why fix it if its not broken" mentality.
