Toot

@rolle I think the key phrase in that post is "used to having the work done for us". Average non-techie User(tm) doesn't really think of the web this way, social medias are self-contained monoliths where you drop your stuff and people see it. The Fediverse, in contrast, LOOKS like this bunch of microcommunities that somehow sometimes seem to communicate with each other. People see an instance with, say, 500 users and just shrug and move on because it's not worth it, their friends can't possibly be part of those 500 people right?

And then along comes BlueSky or Threads or what have you which sounds exactly like what they're used to and the road of least resistance is now not even a competition.

You're not wrong, it isn't all that hard to figure out if people give it a bit of thought, maybe 20 minutes of reading... but people don't. And people's contacts don't. Hard to shake decades of indoctrination Iguess :)
