His grand vision remains to leave Mastodon users in control of the social network, making their own decisions about what content is allowed or what appears in their timelines.

I don't use Mastadon cause I don't care for micro-blogging, but nevertheless, I like this.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but how did you choose an email provider, or a phone service? How do you block spam? Those are basically identical questions, and yeah, they can be annoying, but I don't think anyone finds them that hard to comprehend.

    Maybe, but those questions are part of the normal daily zeitgeist. Everyone is exposed to those concepts and services through natural osmosis, but when I wanted to join Lemmy I got an app and I didn't realize until I started trying to use it that it was a distributed system. Then I'm like, wait what? And I had to go read some stuff about it. Wasn't anything too crazy but I was confused at first.
