Due to how poor twitter is run, he can’t get it back.

I wish celebs would just ditch the platform already.

    Nope but the general use is going to be overwhelmed by the idea of instances.

    I’m a techie and I had to spend a good amount of time reading about how it all works before I felt comfortable joining here. So the average user would probably just give up and use something else.

    The email comparison is definitely the best one I’ve seen so far but I still don’t think it’ll stick with people.

      I’m pretty dumb when it comes to digital architecture/infrastructure and I didn’t really have an issue with Lemmy/Kbin, I think it comes down a lot to how you explain it.

      Maybe ISPs is an okay comparison? Most of us are on different ISPs but we access the same internet.

        It’s probably more productive to just ignore the technical details. Half the country seems to believe they’re buying “wi-fi” nowadays.

        Just stick with “try Mastodon” or “try Lemmy” and let the non-technical folk build whatever mental model suits them best.
