> Is it really that hard for someone who browses hackernews to get set up on a federated platform
I got it to work. Most of us on here can get it to work. But it's a pain, there's a daily bug to contend with, and when I consider that process for others I know together with the community's hostility towards feedback which entails a better onboarding process, it doesn't strike me as worth it. (There are definitely folks for whom it's worth it. But you have to put a premium on federation for its own sake, and a large premium at that.)
