after I found out about the fediverse I've wondered why not more people use it and why it wasn't already popular
For most people it’s just a bit too arcane.
Because most people just don’t understand it. It’s has a high barrier of entry (relatively speaking) and there aren’t really any good mobile apps. While I love the idea of the fed Ivette I just can’t imagine trying to explain it to everyone that’s isn’t tech savvy.
