The premise isn't about the fediverse, it's about a culture shift. And re "join another one", um no, there are 14 competing standards and we don't need a 15th.
Fediverse platforms are not in competition with each other. In fact, it's more like symbiosis. There's no problem with having 15 or even 100 fediverse platforms.
Why do you need a culture shift if anyone can just pick whatever platform they personally prefer? If you want a certain cultural approach, then feel free to use a fediverse platform with that approach, but there's no need for anyone else to follow the same choice, unless they want to.
The culture shift is from communication to entertainment. Author describes some fediverse issues as symptoms, though they aren't always perfect matches.
Activitypub is already 15 different standards in a trench coat
