It’s a bit hard to imagine the fediverse crowd being huge on a tiktok-like platform. I think it’s an important development, even just as a proof of concept, but it would have to attract an audience from a whole different target audience, and one that might have less patience for technical hiccups.

I think video content is also fundamentally more asymmetrical - from a few influencers to a large number of consumers. Which is probably what the fediverse is heading towards as well, but it’s not what it does best at the moment.

I don’t think I’m the target audience of this, and I’m not sure it’ll be a success. But I think it’s a very interesting and important development anyway.
