Also the first barrier of picking a server (how it works, the rules of every instance, checking who they federate with) and an app (the will to test multiple apps, learning that to login you have to input the server url manually since most aren't listed in the apps), to the people who read all the things it's tedious but doable, for the rest it's "Which one is the RIGHT choice?" and just stay at the door.

Also servers with poorly written rules don't help (example: mstdn.mx says porn and politics are forbidden, but in reality they allow them as long as you tag then properly).

These kind of posts don't help either, because it makes people feel like they are too stupid to join and rather stick to the known services, but omit all the actual process that someone has to go through.

Wait, this was supposed to be written from the wife's perspective

Cool, still not worth going through all the learning curve for a shitpost and then not touching it again for months

There's also booty.world but it's not very active yet

And it's still hard to call it a gift, it's more of an imposition.

Because it's a non-issue since you can create a new account inside the blocked instance if you really have to check some community in there, the defederation can be rolled back and there are multiple similar communities through the different instances (or someone could start their own), so losing one of many doesn't have the same impact as losing the only one.

Users are free to download Threads and go lick zucc's balls if they so desire, instances are just protecting themselves and the responsability that comes with it.

It's getting tired reading so many zucc apologist, I swear they are bots or accounts created for that purpose

Not sure now, but at the time they had 4 moderators for the whole instance, this while the big Reddit migration was happening so it was a bomb waiting to blowup, also they've stated before that they want/plan to make it a safespace so they are not exactly made for federation since they'll have to end up blocking a lot of instances to achieve that.

I swear the shillbots are trying every time the topic comes up

Also if instance A goes down you still have instance B.

Needs more jpeg

It's not that the current administration "can't" (altough they have proven time and again that they seem to can't), it's they don't want nor care about it, it's the final year before elections, it's the time to steal as much as possible and the president only cares about that and talking shit about his opponents... think something like Trump.
