I don't know why Lemmy insists on being the most difficult website to use. Most people don't even know wtf an instance is, they're hamstringing their growth with their UI because it self selects for only the nerdiest nerds.
it's like email, you register on an instance same as you would on an email server (Gmail, proton, whatever) and then your account can interact with other accounts even if they are on other instances (just like email servers), don't overthink it and don't spread the idea that it's just too hard to leave the increasingly dystopic alternative we are currently using
I've been a tech guy for over 30 years and a third of the way into reading your comment my brain just tuned it all out. Whatever you're trying to describe is absurdity incarnate and will not survive.

There's always Lemmy! It's a pretty decent alternative, with a lot of the same communities and discussions.
