The idea of free information is incompatible with the existence of corporations that profit from its commodification. The battle to make information free is the battle for an entirely different world.

Agreed, there is a higher barrier to entry for the fediverse at the moment. I do imagine this will get more polish as the fediverse gets more popular. We’re seeing this happening with Linux where it’s becoming a lot more accessible over the past few years even though it’s still only around 3% of overall OS market.
@yogthos Certainly some of the new iOS and Android apps for Mastodon show a lot of promise.
I’m also genuinely looking forward to the @pixelfed app becoming available in the various app stores in April or May.
So certainly some promising signs on the horizon on the usability front for the Fediverse.

@ajsadauskas @yogthos @pixelfed As a cheapskate I am using the free “Mammoth” app for iOS & it is really good (once I had worked out that basically Community = Local, Everything = Federated & Following = Home).
Definitely, I’ve been using Tusky and Pixelfed app on my phone and both work great. Seeing Pixelfed app on the official stores will definitely be nice.
