@pwm @cassidyclown @bot I agree with this take on it. The fediverse isn’t normie friendly because there is simply no middle ground.
If you interact with the wrong person or people you get banished by the mastodongers and labeled as a nazi or fascist or whatever and that’s not appealing for anyone who wants to just be part of a community or post about their interests. And on the other hand to just be on the mastodon side you can’t just post either without conforming to all their stupid tedious bullshit.
I think the fediverse is just too divisive and too political to appeal to the masses and I’m willing to place most of the blame on the tranny jannies of the mastofag side of the fediverse.
