Fediverse has emerged as the popular choice when people look for Twitter alternatives. Personally I found Mastodon was like the early days of Twitter, without half as much toxicity.

However, Fediverse comprises various instances operated by different people. Users sometimes need to switch between different instances, which can be annoying and challenging to manage effectively. I also feel it lacks the social media vibe.

Similarly, decentralisation, as seen in peer-to-peer networks, also emphasizes privacy and freedom of expression.

While exploring decentralised networks such as Nostr, Scuttlebutt, and WireMin, I found that Nostr has the highest level of recognition, whereas Scuttlebutt and WireMin have relatively small user bases currently. I believe their true value will only surface when they get big in the future. But the question is: will they indeed get big? Will decentralisation actually work?

Will Fediverse be the one to trigger the revolution and replace Twitter or Decentralisation?

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Personally I'd move that "possibility of banning" to a positive

Imagine being unable to ban spammers, scammers, or people posting illegal content.

Or hell even being unable to remove posts

Yeah fediverse is better IMO

True, it depends.

If individual users have ways to ban and/or filter spam on the individual level they don't have to have others moderate content for them.
