So I like to call the grouping as the federation but for me it mainly means the things aggregating communities. So the reddit like experience but then there is mastadon which is twitter like. Anyway I often think about the whole thing like going to a bar, or a club, or basically any type of thing where you hang out. You have places you regularly like to hang at which are the subscritpions, you have places you hate and you block those, then you sometimes just go whereever to see whats out there which is like scrolling all. So I was trying to think what mastadon would be like and I was thinking it was like going to someones party because the host is not a group or location so much as an individual. There is no real question here just a musing I felt like sharing.

The issue with Mastodon, and pretty much most of the fediverse is that the non techy people do NOT want to choose a server, they just want something to work....
Once you throw in a lot of the positives us people see, it turns it into a negative for them, they have no need or want for decentralisation and they simply don't sign up.
