People love to clown on the fediverse because of having to choose a server. Which is no different from email. I guess the difference is that their ISP used to give them email.

Not really. It is possible to implement systems that handle a lot more scale than github has. This is proven by systems that exist today.

It might be hard to create such systems using ruby and microslop AI management though
