It’s funny when armchair experts insist that the fediverse won’t catch on because “federation is too hard to understand” when arguably the most widespread communication system on the internet follows the same model

    Federation really isn’t hard to understand especially when you dive in and start using it. I don’t understand anyone who says otherwise.

    Somehow this sentiment exists in the selfhosted subreddit and is why the community didn’t move to Lemmy. One of the last places I’d expect to let something kinda technical scare them tbh.

      “Federation” is like “non-fungible token”. Everyone knows what it is, but they’ve never heard it called that.
