  • Branding is also another factor that comes into play here. Most regular users are used to having a more polished app. Simplicity is the driving force behind apps like tiktok and Instagram. They build on top of each other rather than reinventing the wheel. So it’s just a transfer of skills and patterns. With the fediverse, regular users have relearn those patterns and skills, which most people just aren’t going to do.

    One way to solve this problem is to just abstract the idea of the fediverse. Rather than saying “join the fediverse, we’re decentralised” we could say “we’re a multiverse of internet communities”.

    I also dont think regular users care about whether a post is from another server or not. This can be abstracted as well by only showing the community not the server. What I’m trying to say is, even though the fediverse is a decentralised network, we need to treat is as a centralized one.
