What is instance? There are two buttons - sign up for mastodon or choose another instance, I just want to register etc etc.
People dont care for decentralization, they want to sign up and share a link.
Listen I just don't have sympathy for it at this point. If people insist on maintaining iPad-only tech literacy then they can catch up with any average intelligence 4 year old.
Cool. Doesn't change the fact that for a regular joe, "sign up" is what they want to click and then share a link or follow some guy. Not do research on what platform to join, what instance, what's an instance, what happens if you join a wrong one. The fediverse is a gimmick that most people don't need.
Trump's gaggle of tech bros loves this opinion
