    I think a lot of these people fail to realize that they aren’t Fediverse material isn’t because it’s “complicated” or “filled with linux nerds”. No, it’s because they are the people the Fediverse was created to escape, fascist right-wing extremists. It is more than natural they wouldn’t fit in here because that ideology isn’t compatible with the federated space and working together, if it was why didn’t those people build their own fediverse? I mean they tried, but not so they could connect their sites together and interoperate, only so they could try and take over our spaces, so they could try and force their messages onto us. When we blocked them and plugged our ears they gave up on Federation like that.

    So it’s best to not worry too much about getting these people to join here, but rather debunking any arguments they may have against federation and its viability. The end goal isn’t to get EVERYONE* to join the Fediverse, it’s to get left leaning people and normies to while leaving all the extremists behind. At a point platforms like Reddit and Twitter become as insufferable as Gab or TruthSocial and the only real people there are the alt-right people.
