The thing to remember is that at some point in recent past nobody knew what e-mail was and people had to learn about. And before that personal computers were new and folks had to learn how to use them.
Not everything can be reduced to what you already know! Mastodon requires a tiny bit of extra knowledge because it differs from other social media platforms.

@gargron That's a problematic comparison however: It's not the fact that people have to learn. It's the fact that, in case of Facebook / Twitter / Google+ / WhatsApp and any other mainstream system, people have *less* to learn than in order to use distributed social networks, and that possibly some of that learning curve could be avoided. Same as with cell-phones and early mobile internet: Everyone used SMS because few people even knew how to make e-mail on pre-smartphone devices work... 😉
