fediverse growing pains
overly optimistic i think but, i'm hoping that the more direct relationship between users and admins on the fediverse is going to make a lot of people take account of what they actually want out of a social media, and a relationship with a website owner.
fingers crossed it encourages people towards more conscious self-hosting for the real relationships you want to have online. but like i said, i'm probably being overly optimistic

a lot of the frustrations new users have with somewhere like mastodon is the expected UX, having just come from centralized networks, and abstracted administration powers. but (in most cases, imo) it quickly becomes a learning experience for what the rest of the sites on the internet are constantly doing and constantly trying to hide that they're doing from users.

the silly instance drama between admins is one of the biggest ones that would almost completely be avoided if more people started instances for themselves and people they knew personally already.
i know this isn't possible for everyone, and i totally think there should be places that have good practices for new users, but still.
