I'd love to see a post about ways to simplify the Fediverse or make it more accessible to people. I don't want to see whatever this was.

I think OP means “to make it more accessible” to non tech-savvy people, because yeah, decentralisation adds a layer of complexity that turns people away, and that’s not what we want I think enhancing the Sign Up process inside native clients would make it easier to give them an idea of how this works
I'm pretty sure OP wanted to make a post here about politics/religion but would have had it immediately removed if they said it in the post...
You don't want to "simplify the Fediverse", you just want to not be challenged in your views.
you can say whatever the fuck you want, you just cant force people to listen.
Email is simple enough for people. This is no different.
The real problem is the chicken and egg inertia of crowds.
actually, I’ve seen quite a lot of people not actually understanding email they just associate Gmail with it, and use Google’s UI to write and read, but that’s just the surface the same happens with people associating Google with the whole internet concept, like not understanding what a web browser is
And the fediverse can work more or less exactly the same way for those people.
Toss six philosophical grenades into one paragraph and then act shocked when nobody writes a dissertation in the replies before hitting downvote. The dopamine economy marches on!
First implement full portability/migration then just ask few questions about user interests to suggest an instance that suit the best the interests
