  • To many, federation is a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist for them. In their mind, the early model of federation is like email, a problem that was “solved” years ago by having one corporate product that was much better than others (Gmail).

    To add, on top of that, the fediverse is like if gmail could just randomly decide to stop receiving emails from outlook addresses and there’s nothing any user can do about it except make another email for when they want to email outlook users.

    I don’t think fediverse proponents know just how catastrophically this terminates their entire pitch in the minds of 99% of internet users

    You didn’t. If you get a retinal tear and then don’t get treatment you’ll end up with permanent vision loss. It’s a major medical emergency. If all you had was a flash and nothing else, it wasn’t a retinal tear.

    Your doctors might be concerned about retinal detachment which can be just as serious though. If they think you’re a high risk for it it’s worth getting anything abnormal checked out.
