Oh I really connect with this title "The Loneliness Rebellion" - love that.

Users are tired of screaming into a void, not being able to reach the people and topics they are interested in with ads and attention grabbers in the way.

Survey of the normal people - "What is the fediverse?". Oh boy. We've got some work to do, y'all. Tho I'd love it if we were all part of an MCU plot.

Open Social fared a bit better than this.

Answers from real people when asked What is the Fediverse?, including "a network for police". Yikes.
