I believe I acknowledged that weeks ago, but painting a more narrow image of fedi than exists is not any more useful. It's not just people that do computer science; I'd be *elated* if that was fedi.

We're on the left side of the adoption curve, sure. There's also a resistance to tacking on yet another username and password to log into yet another account on yet another service. I hate doing it.
> Evidence for this theory:
Most of the people on Poast during its first year already knew who graf was, and they're just short of 2^17 accounts now.
