"but you need to do the same for email..."
Discovery sucks out loud, federation is all to often at the whims of some admin in a pissing match with another server, even when you know someone you want to follow locating their account is a hassle, it's slower than Bluesky to populate across federated instances, there isn't a good app design out there for free, the web portal is inferior in both UX and UI to even Twitter, I could go on.
If you want to make strawman arguments, go ahead; but, you're ignoring the real problems with Mastodon that have caused users to avoid it.
If anything, they just proved your meme is right

Yes, and that's kind of by design. The whole system is not designed to emulate large centralized social media, but to enable content syndication and synchronization across independent publishing platforms. Each site, then, is hosting and serving content published on other sites.
If a site admin decides they don't want to be in a contnt hosting agreememt with another, that's gotta be seen as OK. I wouldn't want to host most people's blogs on my website. Especially if the publishing site had a poor track record of content moderation.
But services like Mastodon bend over backwards to hide the nature of the fediverse, and make it seem like it's all one common place and experince. Most major fediverse platforms now fail to allow sufficient theming or site branding, and reinforce the idea that the local site's community is meaningless, and is to be ignored.
It bypasses the whole point, so that everyone can get all shakey trying to avoid the FOMO.

I want Mastodon to work as much as I want Lemmy to work but as long as all the people I want to follow are on/going to Bluesky I'll be on Bluesky too. At least until it gets entshitified and everyone flees again.
yet onto another centralized platform
Great! I never wanted 20 million users in my subreddits or irc channels or friend list.
We'll all be happier this way. I'm happier this way, anyway.
Fiddling while the first real chance at breaking the corporate capture of the web burns because you want to feel intellectually superior to the normies is kinda shit, ngl
It would be super shitty if that's how i felt.
I like that lemmy is small, and that people are kinda nice and that if you tell someone that they're wrong about something its not a flame war.
20 million users is going to change that.
Also, if there was 20 million more users worth of content, the cost of running the infrastructure would increase as well.
why is the fediverse the girlfriend. I mean ewww. it whoudl be like bluesky and fediverse as a lesbian couple with xitter checking them out from a construction site.
Because for some reason people in the fediverse are obsessed with getting others off of mainstream socials
You must do some pretty niche searches on PornHub.

He was never our boyfriend
That's pretty good though, there's a whole lot of people on Melon Husk's site that i wouldn't want to see in my Fedi Timeline.
