Eh, it also helps that it’s from a recognisable brand that people already understand. Decentralised social networks have a long way to go to meet the elevator-pitch test, as it were.
Not to say that it makes it any less bad, but just that it’s at the very least understandable - I can easily see the “average person” saying “I want to leave Twitter” and just picking something is relatively similar, with a single logon page that just works out of the gate.
I mean actually kinda yes. I’m pretty techy and I spent a few days trying to figure out which one I would use. Ultimately landed on .world because I didn’t want to do an interview. Other people might be turned away from that, but maybe it’s a good thing.

So much of the systemic problems in the world stem from that sort of mentality
