Honestly, I think it's concern trolling. Newbies don't know federation is incomplete, so it's not a problem for them. It's only on the HN threads full of mastodon haters that the topic even gets mentioned, but these are not newbies. They're people looking for reasons to be unhappy.
- allenu 4y agoPerhaps some are concern trolling, but I think it's still a legitimate problem if you want people to take up the technology. I use mastodon, but I know it's not the easiest thing to pick up. A lot of the complaining, to me, is just recognizing the common pattern of technically-minded creators not recognizing that the tech (and how it's presented) can get in the way of encouraging more users to join.
