   After talking to a friend about the Instance Question yet again, I decided to make this post explaining why I have such a hard time answering it with certain communities:

     @Pawlicker You could recommend mine™. But the problem with fedi is not a fedi problem but a human one. Even revoler and doing p2p do you only have blocks still wont fix this becuase people want networks where they can be closed off. Its not like they don't have the right either.

     It's not that. Normies just don't want to deal with the fact that their posts will never be seen because someone else made a blocking choice for them.

     @Pawlicker Yes only walled gardens appeal to them, thats the basis of my argument.

     Except it does. They just go into either mega instances like mastosoc or misskey.io, or walled gardens using Mastodon as a backend like Gab or Truth Social. Mastodon has solved the instance problem by just wanting people to sign up for the flagship instance.
     
     Anyone signing up for Mastodon.social or misskey.io doesn't know what a federation is (they don't need to). For many people, Mastodon.social is Mastodon like how wordpress.com is wordpress.

     @dcc Maybe it's because they don't need to log in and see the admin's pill bottle/booze rage again, or some nasty breakup leading to the server going down.
     
     This is one of my friends reasons for not touching the fedi, he saw Pawoo as a professionally run fedi server only because the Mastodon servers he tried joining at the time kept fucking going down.
