   @evan We will "never" reach the masses with a federated model. BUT... the amount of noise produced by Climate Change Deniers and their bots will be drastically reduced as each instance can deal with them and nullify the spread of their misconceptions.

     @jmangt I disagree with your premise.

     @chillicampari @jmangt "We will "never" reach the masses with a federated model."

     There are other communications media that are federated, such as email and telephones.

     I don't think there's a systemic impediment that makes it impossible for the federated social network to reach the masses.

     It just happens to be hard af.

     @evan

     I think there is something to the premise with things at this current state, but wondering where/what the disagreement point is

     @chillicampari @evan Yes that is what I meant. As long as there is not a "single" place to gather, the masses won't join because "there is not a single place to gather". You can see this already with the most common barrier to join #mastodon , picking the server. That decision point introduces a huge friction point for the masses.

     @evan

     Okay (nodding). Yes, agreed on that, but we are looking at more than only the system(s) end of information travel, we also have to recognize many people can and will drop off after something like... 2 to 3 points of friction (my best guess) and then giving up.

     Which is probably fixable but yes, hard af

     @chillicampari thanks. ?? It was good to find out how little energy I have for that line of discussion.
