There's a high amount of friction to get people to join the Fediverse. I had to put in more effort than I'd like to figure out how things worked.

My biggest worry was picking the wrong Mastodon instance and then having no easy way to migrate my stuff to another server. Even after you pick your instance, there's so much setup for things that you kinda just expect to work.
