    Fediverse is really still in its infancy. Its only just shifted from those with a lot of technical knowledge to those with a fluency of it.

    It’s when the average person can create an account and start engaging that it will reach critical mass.

    It’s not a bad thing that its taking a while to get there so that certain cultures, terms of engagement and stable/viable instances (each with their funding streams) can be established. If there were a sudden mass exodus from centralised systems to the fediverse, it would just mean a massive loss of the signal to noise ratio rather than a slow, measure integration of each wave of new users.

      Eternal September. There’s no integrating the masses to a ‘better’ network. I think to some extent you’re going to get what the big names have now because it’s the people, not just the sites.

      And the fediverse sign up is exactly as hard as an email sign up already. Idk how you make it easier.
