Not stuck. You can set up your own instance and be beholden to no-one other than your country’s law

It’s also a question of wanting to make the website popular, if you don’t care about getting more people to leave centralized websites then sure the current solution works, if you want more and more users to join then the experience needs to be used friendly and right now it isn’t, even as a tech savvy person I had a hard time figuring out how to add communities from other instances to my subscribed list and I couldn’t figure out why some would never confirm I was subscribed.
Social Media needs to be decentralized behind the scene, users must not feel it.
