Comment on Introducing Habitat - A Social Platform for Local Communities

- has nothing to do with the fediverse, as it is a centralized, non-federated platform
- services like that will never be successful, unfortunately. Social platforms only work if enough people you know use it. But you will never know it in the first place, as individual owners lack the proper marketing to spread around the word.

Federation has always been in the plan. Success for an individual instances is all the matters to any given owner, not success globally. The owner of an instance must have a vested interest in fostering their local community.
