Great blog post. Well done and very straight to the point.<p>&gt; I believe that the fediverse is a wonderful platform, but it needs to figure out how to market to non tech savvy people if it hopes to break out of its current clique of just being a nerdy platform.<p>Spot on.<p>The Fediverse unfortunately has a trade off with an increase of more centralization with companies such as Meta getting involved to come close to the &#x27;adoption&#x27; of non tech people coming on board. Unfortunately, they will be more likely to be sitting on Instagram Threads instead.<p>If they want to do it without Meta getting involved, then they have to solve the <i>&#x27;Choose a server&#x27;</i> problem. In the case of Mastodon, there needs be a large centralized default instance which users are signed up to by default which is better for users but which further centralizes Mastodon (and the Fediverse).
