Funny, because if the US political discourse is to be believed, people, particularly on the right, really care about governance. I mean, hell, Musk bought Twitter specifically so he could change governance of the platform. So no, I reject the premise. People absolutely do care about governance. They care if they're getting spammed by crypto scammers or getting targeted by abusive trolls. They care if their political views are being censored or things they find offensive are being promoted. The difference is, on a traditional, privately owned platform, the users have limited choice and no say, and they've gotten used to that as the status quo. And if you're a user who really doesn't care, cool, just join mastodon.social or lemmy.ml and move on. Problem solved. As for complaints about onboarding, the official Mastodon app already drives people to mastodon.social (much to the chagrin of some folks in the community), so I have no doubt those issues will smooth out with time.
