Yeah, but tech journos are so far up Big Tech’s cloaca that they can’t imagine any platform emerge without a business plan™. Couple that with their unreflected admiration for anything they’re told is The Next Thing and you have the gushing bit you quoted.

Are there any well maintained indexes out there where you could put in a few check boxes of interests and it spits out an instance to join in fedi space yet?
I think Fedi Garden does a good job of making it accessible, but I still think that curated list needs updating.
None of the automated find-me-an-instance sites have really convinced me, but I have an okay niche server for my interests, and if that folds I’ll probably host a GoToSocial instance just for myself…
