People love to complain, but hate doing anything about it. Moving to lemmy is a bit of work, not much, but enough to deter a lot of idiots. I compare moving to anything Fediverse with moving to Linux. People will always complain about Windows doing this, Windows doing that. So stop using it coward!
That is such a great analogy. I keep trying to get my SO to join Lemmy, but he won’t put any effort into learning how it works or getting used to it. I’ve explained to him what the fediverse is, what instances are, and what Lemmy is at least 3 times already, but then he still got confused the other day and thought Jerboa was another instance instead of an app. It’s frustrating. People just love the familiar and don’t want to be inconvenienced whatsoever…

Sometimes, gatekeeping can be a good thing, such as here.
