What's your definition of success? Google and Facebook federating?
1 comments

Federating is one goal but is useless without mainstream adoption.

Success is adoption. Enough users to break the network effect.

Signal is currently a good example of roughly the amount of users you need to start breaking the effect. So that's what success looks like. A very low bar version of it.
