No.

Since years journalists only talk about Mastodon... Mastodon and... surprise... Mastodon.

If people really would be overloaded, they could also not user facebook, twitter, tiktok, youtube, vimeo at the same time.

It's bullshit to save people by not reporting about the other services in fediverse...

And i'm really angry about this mastodon-centrism all over the whole journalist-bubble...

When you report about email... you do event not write about hotmail. Because it's the same if you use gmail, gmx or host your own fucking mailserver... it's email.
You can write about the advantages for different hosting-providers, their spam-fighting strategy, the free- or paid space, the web-frontend... but it's email.

If journalists write about email the same as they write about the fediverse they would only write about hotmail. hotmail and hotmail. Maybe the write... oh... it's soooooo complicated to use gmail or proton... don't use it... just use hotmail and you are save.

But for the fediverse... it's ok to do this bullshit.

Nice to read "Fediverse"... but you still writing about Mastodon only.

A quick search in your article for
- peertube
- friendica
- pleroma
- calckey
- funkwhale
- pixelfed

gives NO result.

Please go back and try to find out, what the REAL advantage of the fediverse is.

I can help you a little bit:

For example #Peertube
Your own a Mastodon-Account. I own a Friendica- and a Peertube account (both on my own servers).
You can read my comment, which comes from friendica. You get my like, if i like your postings.
So, what the hell is peertube...
It is a very advanced Video-platform, fully federating in the fediverse and has similar features as youtube has.
A useraccount can have more than one channel (YT: one account = one channel).
Peertube has live-videos, live-chat, small video-cutting-features, you can update your videos, and you can automatically sync your YT-Channel.
Peertube has also Podcasting-Features for audio-only content.

And the best is:
You can follow my peertube-channel also from mastodon. You get every new video from my peertube-channel in your mastodon timeline.
If you like my videos, you can give a "star" and i receive it as "like" in Peertube.
You can easily share my peertube-videos with your mastodon-user to your followers... and your followers receive my peertube-video...

So you don't need a peertube-account just to consume, like, comment and share the videos you want.

You need only a peertube-account, if you want to share your videos via fediverse.

And if your own a YT-Channel... just mirror and keept it in sync with Peertube, and you have to only upload your videos on YT, and a short time later your fediverse-followers receive notifications for a new video... and can watch, like, share or comment it directly from mastodon, friendica, pleroma, calckey, akkoma... all the other micro/macro-blogging services from the fediverse... you've forgotten to mention in your article...
