For most people it's unfortunately just "is it like Twitter" - both in terms of accessibility and algorithmic content suggestion.

    I think a sad part of this is due to people wanting that vapid dopamagic response the algorithm provides.

    Is it bad for us? Yes.

    But addicts are going to addict 🫤

    I know lots of people who made a fediverse account easy enough, but just end up back on the algorithm platforms as there's no effort required for discovery.
