MODERATORS
Early in, the Fediverse gained traction with people that were banned from Twitter and others when it had moderation besides for the word "cis" and to suppress leftist viewpoints. Now that Twitter has none, those people have crawled back alongside with the crypto bros, but the bad name generated by gab, truth social, etc. still prevail.
Also people are way too dumb to realize what an instance is (people already have trouble realizing e-mail is not a tech invented by Google for Gmail), defederation dramas, drama around loli, no algorithm "to suggest the users whatever they interested in", less users, generally fediverse apps being way less addictive, etc.
Or, more likely in most cases, don't care and don't want to care.
isn't that another way of calling ignorance aka being dumb?
There's only so many hours in the day. There is something to be said for doing the convenient thing that doesn't have a learning curve if you're just trying to enjoy yourself.
Of course, imho, being aware of your own lack of knowledge is something already.
