Most people have no idea about the fetish circles and the languaged used in relation to them. They recoil at "fediverse" not because of sex association, but because it's a really lame sounding name.

JFC, * don't want you pricks on the fedi. Can't you go back to BBSes or something and wank each other there?
Phones have web browsers. You can view websites easily from your phone.
Apps give them access to everything. You can request access to contact lists, even, and most people won't even think twice to allowing access.
How fucking dare they. If they were going to ruin my day, couldn't they have at least picked one at the end of my life?
No, but that's a great idea.
Well, see, Mastodon has had a functional monopoly on ActivityPub usage, and also Mastodon users are able to and do engage with Lemmy communities. Mastodon's share of AP usage going down is of interest because the fediverse has a monoculture issue, and that's a thing people on a forum like this one should keep in mind.
Misskey's char limit is an admin setting, FWIW. There are plenty of *key servers with higher.
Yeah. I think Misskey defaults to 2000, and supports up to 7000. And Glich-soc supports signidicantly higher, and that's a Masto fork.
And you think Mark Cuban is funding what, exactly? A member's co-op?
Your freedom to worship (or not) doesn't mean you're free from the social consequences, though
Recommendation engines aren't the biggest issue. People will figure out how to fins what they want, and be generally happy with that, if looking is easy enough.
The big issue is that "join the fediverse" is a really, really shitty and incomplete recommendation. It's like "join the blogosphere!"
And "join Mastodon" or "join Lemmy" is bad, too. It's like asking them to "join Joomla".
You need to point people to the specific website they should join, and that website has to already have what they're looking for. People aren't interested in building something.
They just want to consume.
