“Servers? Instances? Is this a place to connect with my friends or a goddamn server room?”

That's not a property of of federation (see email and websites) it's just because early adopters are a little wired. In any new social phenomenon, it takes a second wave of adopters (first wave of followers) to bridge the wierdos from the masses.

Cue this classic study in leadership: https://youtu.be/hO8MwBZl-Vc be the first one to follow the wierdos and show the masses it's cool.
