    I do think there’s lots of people who have something meaningful to say that can’t or won’t take the time to learn to navigate the Fediverse

      That’s the sad pickle though - you don’t want to gatekeep voices, but at the same time there needs to be some effort put in if you want your voice heard - an ersatz idiot filter.

      I mean, there are multiple visual and audible walk-through videos on YouTube available to teach people how to make an account here. They are step by step, and you can see what to click.

      I learned by googling it, myself.

      How easy are you talking, here?

        No one needed a walk-through to sign up for Threads last week; that should be the goal IMO for any decentralized network to thrive. Being decentralized makes that inherently more difficult but I believe it’s a worthwhile goal.

        I know it probably sounds insane but I think the Fediverse has more potential than a niche social network for the data conscious - but I think it needs to be accessible to fulfill that vision
