The fact that this is Chromium [1] kills it for me right off the bat. I cannot stand the battery hog that chromium is and the lack of support for UBlock Origin.
A damn shame, I was hoping it was at least webkit based which doesn't support UB Origin either, but at least it isn't a battery hog.

The average person does not care enough about the operating system they use to buy a tpm 2.0 module, install it on the motherboard, and then risk their personal data by upgrading the OS just for a marginally improved windows experience.
Microsoft, you guys need to give actual incentives to upgrade, not punishments for not doing so.
Sadly, it's hard to imagine a world where something like this will ever catch on. The target audience for "traditional" social media is very different from the niche of people who want decentralized social media. Most people just use social media as a means to an end and don't really care about the systems behind it.
If the answer is that most people should just make a bluesky account, that defeats the whole purpose because then everyone will still be on one or two large providers.
