““The federated social media universe—allowing users to maintain sovereignty over their audiences across platforms—is set to challenge traditional social networks' walled gardens.” "I’m willing to bet that you’ll fediverse fluent by the end of 2025.””

Follow-up

However, mainstream marketer fluency by the end of 2025 was limited, with most marketers still focused on large walled gardens. Therefore, the 'fluent' part of the prediction was overly optimistic for the median marketer.
