Maybe it's my own problem, but I believe a lot of people have the same problem:

My biggest issue about this is that I'm too lazy to learn how it works. I don't understand what "federation" and "defederating" mean in this context. For Reddit I have terms like:

subreddit - a board, like in a forum

mod - a mod, just like in a forum again

karma - useless internet point

and that's about all I need to know. I just don't have the incentive to learn what federation, defederating, instances, etc are, but they seem to somehow can affect what content I can see or whether I'll get banned. This demotivates me even further.

Of course if it becomes a mainstream platform or all my friends are using it then I'll learn these concepts. But not before that.
