I think a lot of people have almost some kind of cognitive blindness to idea that technology can be community run. It's not enough to explain or show or take them to it, they'll keep excusing how it can't possibly be a thing, and if it is than surely it will "fail" or has already failed.

@boggo it feels like a lot of people also try to find excuses to not use it which are really silly when the only real reason they don't want to switch from their current poo platform is because "everyone else is on it", but that's like an embarrassing reason or something so they try and come up with other excuses

@boggo Heh, would probably be very funny to tell them the fediverse has been running since 2008.

@boggo yeah I truly believe people think a website isn't serious unless it's run by a company. Mastodon is decentralized so it's too complicated and will never work Bsky is decentralized so it's the future
