A bit paradoxal but it looks that all central platform (twitter, reddit, facebook...) are helping the spread of Fediverse. Recently we saw the impact with Twitter on Mastodon, myself I've discovered Lemmy even if I wasn't a reddit user. And before that Facebook first spread friendica and diaspora. It looks next step will be around Youtube where Google try to lock more and more its user.

I think eventually these alternatives will eat eachother into oblivion, I think this is simply a growing pain.

Hmm... yes and no. XKCD comes to mind.

But yes, evolution will solve this issue.
