And frankly, the Fediverse isn’t as user-friendly

One component of a system being "user-friendly" is that it must not sabotage or undermine the user on behalf of the system's proprietor.

Unfortunately, this means that proprietary systems rarely remain user-friendly forever, as most proprietors eventually want to sabotage the user in some way or another, and can rarely resist the temptation forever.
