I realize I'm a techie and so maybe everything seems easy to me, but please someone explain to me what's complicated about Mastodon.
You go to a website, you create an account, you post content.
Surely we all understand this basic transaction about how websites work.
The narrative that "Mastodon is complicated" always hits me like the Barbie from the 60s with a pullstring who made comments like "Math is hard! Let's bake a pie!"
In other words, ridiculous.
