Conversation

I think people have been gate keeping Mastodon a little bit. The narrative that it’s for nerds or difficult to understand or set up seems far fetched.

People understand email and sign up for it right? We used to copy and paste code to add music widgets and confetti to our MySpace page, and that was widely popular.

So why is selecting an instance and understanding the separation of feeds such an ask?

Maybe we should change the conversation around the Fediverse and tell people what it allows, and what it does different than focus on the five minutes of mildly inconvenient setup.
