Part of me thinks “just forget about the way things are and focus on building things the way you think they should be.” But if we’re trying to build a bridge from where we are to where we want to be, we can’t really do that. You have to understand both equally well otherwise one leg of that bridge will be built on shaky foundations. And without a bridge, what we’re essentially telling people is, “hey, only the best swimmers can come join us on the other side.” And I’m not willing to do that.

@aral I can see your point here, one of my arguments is to suggest focus on what we want people to do, as in use the fediverse, tell me now to use Facebook isn't telling me what to use.
