From an expectations perspective, this is a *really* hard sell.

1) "But I want to be where my friends are" doesn't respond to logic. It's a reaction that is literally bred into us as a species.

2) Bootstrapping your timelines is an inscrutable process when you're not on larger servers. Websites with giant directories of people are intimidating, and small servers with fewer total follows from the server to populate the federated timeline don't provide enough varied content.

You're talking about an entrenched system that was inherited from physical landline service, vs a completely new federated system built on entirely different principles.

If I said "hey you should get a cellphone. I'm on Verizon." And you went to Verizon to be like "hey my buddy said I should sign up" and they're like "sorry, not taking any more customers, you should go find a list of other carriers to try, there's several dozen of them" that would be friction.
