At some point, honestly, it’s just inertia. My sister is smart enough to figure out Mastodon, she calls instances confusing because she just doesn’t WANT to move. She’s still on Facebook, saying she’s just not into Twitter or Reddit like stuff, but she’ll be on Threads I bet.
I don’t think we need to be the biggest thing in the world, though, as long as we have ENOUGH people in the Fediverse to be active.
