This seems to be a big issue with the general fediverse community attitude to me. It reminds me a lot of the Linux community 10+ years ago, constantly downplaying some pretty huge technical hurdles that new people need to climb, and then wondering why it struggle so much to gain traction.

I’m enjoying the site overall, but I feel like a lot of people are way too die-hard into the philosophy here, to the point where everything seems to come back around to endless circle jerks about how cool and awesome we are for using the superior open platform.

I like it because it’s open, but it really isn’t THAT big of a thing, and I’m getting pretty burned out only the endless talks about what is and isn’t the best pure way to implement the perfect utopia of federation.

Obvious troll is obvious.
