You have to remember that the vast majority of people are, for lack of a better word, pretty dumb. You say the word “fediverse” and their eyes cross.
That's just because they haven't been taught about it yet. Once it catches on more (Twitter and Reddit refugees, Meta app) it'll become more widely understood and more people will start using it. Once you understand the point of the Fediverse, using it isn't a whole lot harder than any other social media.
that's putting it lightly. But remember Twitter wasn't mainstream for a while. And tbh it still isn't.
I mean, tweets are pretty regularly cited on the news. Not sure how much more mainstream Twitter could become.
