The events of the last few hours have clearly shown that not everyone has a good grasp on how federation works, which there is no shame in. I remember having to look up how to dodge the Godrick roll attack in Elden Ring, a boss generally considered easy. This article by Neil is a good run down and even has advice Fedi veterans might find useful. Hope it helps :)
I guess I missed the drama. But it is to be expected. Many people came from centralized social media, and simply signed up for something their friends told them about. For those people, they learned about federation after the fact. It is a new concept for a lot of people.
I think that’s the ideal way to do it. It’s less intimidating when you see it in practice
