@dcc No, normies can't and don't use it, that's the thing. Normies have a hard time understanding the CONCEPT of federation. Like, it just doesn't fucking register, and then most of the time when it does, they don't get why it's a good thing. You tell them about a new service and they call it an "app." They don't understand and they have no desire to understand. In fact, in my experience they have a desire to not understand. They give negative fucks about this topic and measure how good a service is based on how many fields they need to fill out and how many things they need to click before they get the desired output, the fewer the better.
