Large American companies sure know how to release idiot-proof services - you just install an app that connects to a centralized service, and everything works like magic.
The Fediverse is probably on the opposite side of the spectrum, where you have to know how decentralized federation works, how to deal with the limitations in discoverability, how to pick instances etc.
I feel like there’s a lot of pushback in the FOSS community against making many of our projects “product-ready”, on the grounds that they are managed by a bunch of unpaid volunteers who are not supposed to commit to anyone’s needs outside of their narrow community of contributors (or, worse, “if you want a feature just build it yourself”).
This probably needs to change, otherwise we don’t have much leverage to criticize those who prefer to remain stuck on a US-based hyper-centralized cloud.
And probably tweaking the system of financial incentives, so that EU-based contributors aren’t burned out unpaid folks, will definitely help.
