What will be the sign that kbin/Lemmy have 'arrived'?
Will it be when journalists from tabloid newspapers start putting articles on their Facebook pages saying 'after a fallout with the neighbours/school/bride/boss one angry mother/homeowner/parent took to kbin/Lemmy to ask others what they think'.
I suspect that most tabloid journalists would find the concept of instances and different systems showing the same content too mind-blowing.
When a large news media site has its own community, and then posts a ragebait article about a competing instance defederating with it due to its terrible behaviors.
Meta attempts to federate and every user is immediately swarmed with bots that tell them to stop using Meta, a baby site for babies, forcing Meta to defederate.
