Why does everyone keep thinking fedi needs to be the next "big thing."
It's great as it is. It doesn't need to be easier, or more widely adopted.
The internet used to be difficult to use and that acted as a filter to keep the brainless masses away. It's fine. It was BETTER back then.
I do not fully agree with this. Simply because by having a lack of users, there will not be answers to questions that require expertise
This is the exactly the unwelcoming approach which would result in an unwelcoming environment
What I am saying is that the community should be open for as many people as possible.
Making/keeping something purposefully difficult to use is like saying to someone that you won't talk to them because they don't have a PhD. in math.
I'd much rather welcome the normies than people who compare human beings to pissing stray dogs, personally.
