@ashiisbest@miruku.cafe i wouldn't say it's the reason, fedi also just seems to require a lot more tech savvy than the average person has or wants to acquire. "it just works" is a powerful sales pitch even if the thing in question doesn't actually work (see the AT Protocol being entirely under the thumb of bsky admins so moderation actions they affect all instances) but yeah that shit fuckin sucks and has not been subtle about sucking for ages now so can't say i'm surprised either
