Do not tell your friends to join the #Fediverse. Pick an instance, then go to them and say "join this social network website."
When people are sick of #Parler, they will only join another #Parler. They won't want to be told to join a protocol.
@realcaseyrollins@gameliberty.club that hard , i don't have any accounts on other peoples fediverse servers so i don't know what their like .
and i definitely don't want friends of friends of friends and so on joining .
this poor computer and network would just die 😆
@loganer If I were you and had the money (I am neither 😫) I'd make an instance for your friends
@realcaseyrollins@gameliberty.club well you see they can join my server just they can't really invite too many others .
you see i'm kind of running residential netowrking here and on my own hardware so its not exactly the best setup in the world.
@realcaseyrollins@gameliberty.club i'll be honest though , i don't suggest setting up a misskey instance just yet for the normies .
it was a pain in the butt thanks to the poor documentation but i eventually got it working.
it only took me literally an entire day though 😆 .
i have to say not a fan of the Deck view but the default view is pretty nice.
@realcaseyrollins@gameliberty.club i actually was running a #Pleroma instance.
i couldn't even get mastodon running at all not along have a proper server running from it.
but moved to #Misskey for the "cloud storage" functionality
