austI really wish Mastodon didn't have multiple networks and instances. Just confusing for 99.5% of ppl. Maybe that's a feature not a bug, but I doubt it. Fragmentation is rarely a good thing in a social network.
Simon@aust are you feeling confused? I'm not a programming nerd and federation doesn't seem that complicated. I don't see people posting being confused or frustrated by federation. some people confused by features working differently I.e. favs and DMS and CWs. what makes you think laypeople can't get their heads around federation?
@Anarchist586 > what makes you think laypeople can't get their heads around federation?
Laypeople can barely wrap their minds around Twitter
@aust There are millions of people who use Twitter every day. I guess I'm just not sure what you mean when you say people aren't wrapping their heads around it.
