mastodon would do so much better if they'd just call instances "neighborhoods" and said that you should pick your neighborhood based on your interests, so that if you look out your window you'll see your neighbors doing things you find interesting. and that it's okay if you find out you don't like your neighborhood, because you can just move to another one! and all your followers will move with you
and then, yanno, make it easier to search for people you wanna follow cause that shit just sucks
@eniko There are quite a few people out there (including people I respect on Twitter) who have complained about the barrier to entry causing them to not go on Mastodon.
I think doing small things like this that reduce the perception of barrier to entry, and fixing federated login, would go quite far to get more non-technical people to join Mastodon.
people complain because they don't want to change.
we are talking about mono sapiens here.
if he/she/it wants to needs to he/she/it finds out quite fast and even is happy because "it works!".
