These are the masses that literally do not seek anything that is not packaged and maketed and placed directly beneath their noses as the latest zeitgeist, the must have, if you don't join you're out of touch!!!

It's not exactly conducive to critical thought processes, and a large part of valid arguments about social media being harmful.

I do think there’s lots of people who have something meaningful to say that can’t or won’t take the time to learn to navigate the Fediverse

I mean, there are multiple visual and audible walk-through videos on YouTube available to teach people how to make an account here. They are step by step, and you can see what to click.

I learned by googling it, myself.

How easy are you talking, here?

No one needed a walk-through to sign up for Threads last week; that should be the goal IMO for any decentralized network to thrive. Being decentralized makes that inherently more difficult but I believe it’s a worthwhile goal.

I know it probably sounds insane but I think the Fediverse has more potential than a niche social network for the data conscious - but I think it needs to be accessible to fulfill that vision
