It is safe to assume when I tweet, all my followers will be able to see it immediately. Unless they do something else with their computer, or are doing some chores in room with the big blue skybox. And you can only assume this because you know Twitter has fast servers etc. - not because it's a proprietary black box. The same would hold true for your favourite, lightning-fast diaspora or OStatus pod of choice. Yes, ONLY those followers who ALSO care about super instant real-time speed, will be signed up to fast pods in turn -- but guess what, if you forced them to be on twitter they still wouldn't read, much less react, to your stuff in real-time. So you gain nothing. Is there a delay when updating to a status to identi.ca before it shows up on rstat.us for example? Have you even tested before you accuse people of "not getting it" --- ??
