I think the reason people are intimidated by it is because you have to choose a server, but you can hop on whatever server it suggests when you set it up and then switch later. I don’t know how to migrate to a new server so I just started a second account once I figured out how it works.

And it doesn’t feed you suggestions on who to follow so that makes it harder than Twitter or you have to seek people out there’s no feed until you make one.

Yeah I think you’re right those are probably the two biggest hurdles. For me I just followed a TON of hashtags at the beginning which helped me find people to follow.

A lot of the Covid twitter accounts didn’t use social media prior to 2020 - so they never really learned the hashtag way I guess.

That’s why I plugged zeroes in my article - I figured I would take the guess work out of it and just point people towards a server I know to be a good one. The mods will even help you move OFF it if that’s what you want to do.
