The "complicated" Fediverse signup process is actually the perfect filter. If someone isn't willing to learn such a trivial process to gain access to an open decentralized discussion platform, then they really only have themselves to blame when they keep ending up in enshittified algorithmically-manipulated echo chambers.
I like how people just chose to believe the "trust me bro" attitude from bluesky's leadership on web3.0 monetization when their investors quite literally have a track record of doing so. We've collectively learned nothing for the past 3 decades.
Honestly never thought I'd live long enough to see Idiocracy become a documentary.
