Ehhh, fediverse is much comfy place. Not without its flaws, but nonetheless comfy. Anyhow, Judging a big place from the actions of few... not exactly reasonable to be honest.
But yeah,I think, it resurfaced, partially to recent, well, Ladybird stuff. Things got on the track, and the train went forward...
My conclusion is to continue avoiding sites like X and the so-called "Fediverse".
