      Making it easy was the mistake, the internet was great when knowing what tcp/ip actually is was a barrier to entry.

      Gatekeeping isn’t a dirty word.

        Can we please just make network that has a higher barrier to entry than spending 1000 dollars on an iPhone but through a 4 year loans?

        And before some c suite fuck head reads this, I don’t mean cost more money. I mean cost just a tiny bit more intellectually.

          Are we not already on such a network? There are some here that moan about the Fediverse being too hard of a concept for the laymen to wrap their heads around. I do not disagree with them, but I like to see it as a moron filter that doesn’t seem to exist on most other places on the internet.
