    That’s what I keep saying. Stop trying to explain it. Just have them sign up and start consuming content. They’ll get the basics by osmosis eventually

          Kind of, I know the lemmy.world guy was already well known to those into fedi, and Earnest has been very transparent with everything, but just in principle I’m a little cautious just because part of the advantage here is no central control.

          Even if it never becomes about money, say someone gets hit by a bus, and whoever gains control either doesn’t understand or can’t cope with it and passes it on to someone else, or maybe even just shuts the whole thing down. I’m sure there are checks being put in place but I’d still hate to see some freak tragedy or something take out a good portion of the users and communities here. Even if the content would have still already federated out.

            Yeah, lemmy.world got so popular for a reason and I trust the Open Collective. I see where you’re coming from and don’t disagree but you can’t get too paranoid either, shit can always happen. I hope account migration (and maybe even mirroring/linking across instances) gets implemented eventually because that would really make the system bulletproof.
