@gamingonlinux well I think it raises real questions (although hate is never appropriate). It's not like the normies / techies limit is a binary one or that there are only techies on the fediverse.

I see a real potential for threads to drag less techy people there and then close the federated doors, which would be a net loss for the fediverse.

We've seen google chat do that with xmpp and I don't see why meta would behave differently.
