Gregory's Server@rolle A lot of these features that distinguish Fedi are *worse* for most users. Opt-in search means it's hard to find what I'm looking for; it's way worse user experience than the global search available on Bluesky, and has been cited as one of the top reasons by people who chose not to use the Fediverse why they left.

 @rolle Erin Kissane did a survey of former users and of non-users and they cited it as a top reason, alongside the difficulty of choosing an instance, janky interface for interacting across instances, and a combo of mods and early adopters haranguing them about norms that were alien to them (e.g. putting stories of other people being racist to them behind CWs). |
@Alon I’m pretty sure the search is not the most important feature for many.
