I can't imagine the decentralized camp ever growing significantly.
On r/RedditAlternatives people are discussing what sites to migrate to. The federated kbin and lemmy are getting significantly less attention than the centralized squabbles. [1]
Many redditors complain that sites being federated is actually a downside, as they don't understand it and even if they do they rather not explain it to their friends.
Oh I agree, if you read my other comment in this thread I already said that the vast majority of internet users will use centralized corporate social media.
But I'm hoping that with accessibility improvements the decentralized camp will grow, and it will forever remain a factor. Or as long as the internet as a backbone is free enough.
