@Moon @CentaurBreeder @animeirl @coolboymew @dragnucs @firefish There are also many reasons why normies won't touch the fediverse as of now, which include:
Instance blocking fragmentation forcing you into an instance that is jannied to shit to talk to someone who insists on using one with jannies.The only artists are Japanese or on baraag of all places, or mastodongers blocking the entire fedi.*wagie boss voice* "why aren't muh numbers high enough"Instance owners shutting down (this is such a serious issue that Bluesky namedropped this as why they like to have a singular identity even though all of us know how this could be misused. If this sounds stupid, remember that a SomethingAwful moderator bought that site out because their posting careers matter that much to them, and ditto with Twitter users who don't scrub their old tweets to keep their numbers high despite making them prone to cancellation.Low amounts of interaction as opposed to Twitter (if you don't spend money on Twitter blue) if you're a nobody screeching into the void.Some poster/eceleb is only on Twitter.Mastodon's UI is trash
