"there's nothing wrong with Mastedon and everyone else covering it is at fault."

"It's the big tech cabal are the reasons why Mastedon is not appealing to a wider audience."

"Definitely not because the the entry point has a slight learning curve and the demographic of users are FOSS and Linux enthusiasts"

Surely not.

I am not trying to argue this isn't also true too, my argument is that the fediverse doesn't have a marketing department so the framework of discussion around the fediverse in mass media will always be fit to whatever the most convenient narrative is for the corporate tech world which will always be the fediverse is an obscure nerdy diy thing like ham radio or something.

That isn't to say the fediverse doesn't also have existential accessibility issues on multiple dimensions.
