    I tried to explain the concept of Lemmy and most said this whole concept of federation sounds too complicated for some social media site they use on the toilet or when going to bed…

    So I think accesibility ia the biggest problem, even though Lemmy isn’t actually that hard to use, it just sounds hard to use. I think many more people join in if they wouldn’t have to pick an instance

      I guess with the average person just send them to LemmyWorld describing it like reddit and then let them figure out the rest. Instances may sound scary at first until they’re not.

        The Boomers and Xoomers can destroy Reddit like they did Facebook while Spez sells the data from the golden years.

        It won’t last long. I am guessing almost all of prime Reddit years have been scraped and the interest in the AI shitposting that remains won’t be worth much for anyone.
