In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.
Being “harder”* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies’ services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.
- “harder” because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

Eh, I have mixed feelings about how the Fediverse welcomes people by not really explaining how the whole thing works, but people have found their way around in no time at all.
It’s definitely a growing platform, but there are rough edges in the usability of it aside on desktop and mobile, and in many third-party apps like Jerboa.
I’m sad to hear you did not feel like a good explanation of the fediverse was given. Is there something you’d still want to know? I’m no expert but I’ve been here for a while, so I might be able to help or at least guide you!
