Except for the fact that most people dont like jumping through multiple hoops to register an account / need to do research beforehand to do it.

    What is instance? There are two buttons - sign up for mastodon or choose another instance, I just want to register etc etc.

    People dont care for decentralization, they want to sign up and share a link.

    Cool. Doesn't change the fact that for a regular joe, "sign up" is what they want to click and then share a link or follow some guy. Not do research on what platform to join, what instance, what's an instance, what happens if you join a wrong one. The fediverse is a gimmick that most people don't need.
