  I think my point was missed. I was using “I” but my writing was a user story.

  I’m talking about why adoption for fediverse platforms falters - especially for those coming from very slick, big money apps with a whole team or teams focused on on-boarding.

  IE. It’s not a user-centric experience (yet) - but we also don’t need teams focused on onboarding. Just small tweaks.

  Like a lot of fediverse experiences - the initial need to pick a server is deeply problematic for new users.

  Why pick one server over the other? How do get informed about this choice.

  If I take a gamble, then I can’t log in using my mastodon account. Then the login fails with others.

  I was happy to persevere, my partner not so much.

  The thing is that picking a sever is kind of neat but it’s so tech-centric when it should be community centric. A quick blurb about the community and their vibe/ideology would go a long way. Maybe a quick preview of some random content? Instead we’re playing a guessing game with a url.

  But hey, it’s early days and these things will improve because we can all pitch in to help be the change.
