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.

For the longest time there just wasn't enough activity so you'd get bored and stop checking back. There's enough people now that this isn't an issue anymore.

I think it's more going to be more like twitter than they're bargaining for.
