To be honest I like the idea of being able to move my account from a server which is offline to a different one. We should have it with ActivityPub too.

    I deleted twitter ages ago but never jumped to Mastadon because the initial descriptions seemed overly technical and confusing. Like people went out of their way to describe how it was different and unique, making it sound difficult. It was only after the Reddit debacle and trying out Lemmy did I realize it was basically the same thing to an average user. I could get my content drip without specialized knowledge. That makes me consider trying out Mastadon.

    I think most people don’t care how they get their memes, just that they get them. That should be the focus, and learning about federated systems is a byproduct.
