I love all the hot-takes on "federation is too complicated for normies" meanwhile the whole entertainment industry feels threatened by BitTorrent. Not to say the federation here will see the same success - but it's a trade off between effort & reward and I think Mastodon moved the needle on the equation

@lmorchard tbf a lot of it could be pretty straightforwardly addressed with some onboarding and minor UX
