@volpeon you don't have to know how to host for federation to work though being able to self-host is just an added benefit.I think Fediverse does it pretty well because you can interact with everyone and everything across every instance with your single account, we just need a better onboarding process and softwares that are more familiar for people.In the end tho, I think Eugen said it well, it's not so much the convenience as "if everyone used smoke signals, that's where everyone'd stay"
