    It’s not that simple. Twitter and email are both just as complicated yet they enjoy mass adoption. You and I run into walls because we’re not accustomed to it. When you were new to other tech I’m sure you ran into similar walls.

    This meme has to die. Federated services are not some black magic.

      I would have replied to this earlier, but my Lemmy instance was unexpectedly down…

      Federated services are cool. They’re not black magic, but they have their own issues that still need to be handled better for there to be mass adoption.

      Every day, though, these federated platforms are being developed. Different users have different thresholds for what they’re willing to put up with, and slowly but surely, more and more people are going to be within the expanding bubble of acceptability.
