I’ve literally had a conversation like

“the fediverse is too complex”

“It’s actually pretty simple when you get the hang of it, it took me like 5 minutes to understand it”

“That’s 5 minutes too much, everything is simple once you get the hang of it, actually simple things are intuitive from the start”

As if when you’re born you already have the knowledge required to browse Facebook in your brain. You have to “get the hang” of everything you use, there’s just more complex and less complex stuff (and 5 minutes is very much on the lower end).

It’s a Stockholm syndrome kind of thing. They’ve been under the control of social media companies so long they’ve gotten to like it. It’s scary to leave that control.

I have choices? No, that doesn’t make any sense!

I think people get some degree of choice paralysis as well. It’s hard to pick which instance to join, and I worried about what I might miss out on. I ended up making accounts on a few and messed around until I settled on Lemmy.world. I could see this being a barrier for entry and forcing some people to just stick with the easy road, Plebbit.

If I can figure this out to promote “Barbie”, then they can too!
