Tantacrul mentions onboarding problems with average people learning to switch to the fediverse as an alternative to Facebook
This reminds me of Tom Scott's excellent video on electronic voting machines, where he mentioned that the system for counting votes needs to be easily understandable to the average person so that they can adequately trust it.

I'm sure what this guy is saying has truth to it but here's the actual problem.
The people.
Fediverse will never EVER hit critical mass unless the users and mods stop calling everyone they don't agree with a Nazi. Mods need to actually enforce NSFW shit and do their job. Nobody is going to scroll in their off time when you can randomly have furry dick pop up.
The problem is the people. This place is hostile as fuck to the average user.

I've never seen such content, which community was that? Did you report the content for not being flagged?
If you see unflagged NSFW content just report it and say "unflagged NSFW content." People on your instance and the community's instance will get the report. This is nice so that even if your instance has more strict rules it can still handle the problem if the community's instance doesn't want to.
I'm not saying you're a nazi, but if you think the main problem with social media is that everyone calls you a nazi you should consider the possibility that you might be.

But when they have that content, or even worse stuff such as neo-nazism, shown on Twitter and Facebook, suddenly they have no issue! Suspicious.
Most people prefer offensive words over involuntary dick exposure.

TBH this is to be expected from a demographic made up largely of ex-reddit users
Nazi, transphobe, capitalist scum are popular ones on here.

Hey I wasn't the one being called all these things. I tend to avoid communities like that but every time I go to the federated tab I see at least one post like this.
