The slightest amount of difficulty or abstraction totally gate-keeps most people. Move the goalpost for accessibility by like 3 IQ percentage points and you see a massive drop-off in users (for the better). It's pretty bizarre and pathetic seeing these people gloat about, essentially, how stupid they are and how they're incapable of comprehending pretty simple, straightforward concepts.

The earlier internet was a much, much better place precisely because it was slightly more difficult to understand and utilize. The earlier internet was more difficult and more abstract than the fediverse. The simplification and appification of the internet and internet-connected services/networks has been a disaster for the human race.
