@mcc Yeah. I feel like this kinda mentality is more harmful to the Fediverse than it is good, because we're overlooking the net positive that literally owning your data while still being able to communicate with less techy people in the same way is.
Most people (wider audience) don't wanna follow Joe Bloggs who they found from a blog post with a Mastodon link on, they wanna follow their favourite content creator or something. Wider adoption is good because it invites innovation. :)
