If people went as far as registering in a Lemmy instance, they clearly have some affinity towards the Fediverse. Getting through Fediverse to work nicely for them is what bridges the gap. It’s the same with anything people do. Better defaults is a trivial low hanging fruit that can help perhaps significantly.
Comment on Defaults are crucial for good UX and getting more users on the Fediverse

I personally value the decentralization and personal control a lot more than laypeople being arsed to try to figure it out. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t even be here in the first place. Why try to accommodate for users that don’t give a crap about the main selling point by diminishing the said selling point?

Not a lot of thought was put into selecting the defaults, all I’m saying is at the very least we should put thought into the defaults that are set. It takes away no control from the user.

You would still have control over it. It would just remove a barrier to entry.
