The very minor and surmountable technical barrier of joining the fediverse will do wonders to screen out users capable only of the lowest effort.
It's really nice to have this "filter" of a complexity because many people who do that low effort stuff don't want to put effort in even trying to learn a new system (geschweige denn) one of the complexity of the fediverse. If you are ready to go through the process of undertsanding the system you are most likely a valuable part of the community
This comment made me feel better about joining even though I’m slightly confused by it. Knowing that there is a barrier for everyone and that my willingness to learn is a sign of my value being here makes me feel more confident
