What the article doesn't mention is just how much time the Fediverse has spent in its infancy, because the drive wasn't there for certain stuff and people only worked on what they cared to work on. Grassroots development, compared to the FB social graph and whatnot, which had paid employees working on it every day, while Jim spent his weekends in his basement tinlering with ActivityPub or OStatus.
