I have difficulty parsing out the actual substantial complaints about the fediverse in this article. The "I don't want to interact with some unpleasant people" problem seems to be already solved by killfiles and per-community moderation (as the author says). With this there of course come disagreements about who to peer with ecetera (as the author says). But this just comes with the nature of a federated system. What would be a better solution, downgrading again to having one higher authority?

The argument then seems to boil down to, that this does not lend itself well to marketing the platform. But this is a general issue with technologies, which require some thought to use (An unsolved problem, I suspect the issue lies with the people and not the technologies. Better education anyone?). Although the pointers on which language might better describe the thing when doing the social wrangling of marketing it seem quite useful.
