We all know there's a barrier, albeit fairly low, to the fediverse proper, but on the other hand, I remember seeing a video once about how people's attention span is so fucked by Instagram and all that that they comment with questions already answered in the post, for example (obviously I can't find it now in the sea of opinion-piece video essays about it). In a way the barrier to entry is a boon to the fediverse proper in all arenas bar financing.

If anything, this is how the Internet used to be: there is a small technical barrier to entry, but if you can't be bothered to learn you'll struggle.

And the Internet certainly used to be better.

Personally, I blame the tankies. The hoard of people dedicated to harassment on Hexbear is a big part of why I'm considering other platforms.
