It's going to be really difficult to get most people used to the idea of decentralized federated services.

    Thats not the problem. The problem is the usability. Making an account? Finding different communities? Find the right app? Everything really difficult. Thats the problem.

    I'm fairly techy myself, not the most techy but I can admin a Salesforce instance, write a wordpress plugin from scratch, I can get by in React...

    I've found migrating from reddit to lemmy frustrating. I still don't know if I'm doing it "right". Ive not subscribed to anything, nor tried to track down my old communities on here because it all just seems tedious and needlessly complicated.

    Threads is winning over Mastodon because you click a button and it's Twitter but a different color.
