@navigium It's the only way to convince people when there's easy to use and clean software. Federation stuff should be available on small web hosting services like people are used to have CMS, Mail and so like one-click solutions for WordPress, NextCloud. It has to work like Email or WhatsApp on desktop and phone. Otherwise it won't succeed.
... there would be plenty geeky stuff to do. But I'm also a bit tired of it. Of course I also miss some activity on my "statusnet" list of duffers. :)
