Hot take, all apps look the same now.
This is so true. There have been many occasions where I thought someone was using TikTok, but it was just another app that looked exactly the same (Instagram, LinkedIn, some guitar learning app etc)
That's kind of the idea. I miss the originality of old systems, but it seems like a lot of developers are prioritizing consistency and learnability for the sake of accessibility.

Makes sense as developers probably got sick of helping their family fix simple issues that were just slightly more work than pressing a single button.
Developers are just glad that skeuomorphism has gone the way the dinosaur. It was a bunch of extra work you needed to put in to intentionally make everything look overly complicated and fiddly.
Most redditors and twitter users where too lazy to make the jump because the idea of more than one instance is somehow confusing.
The ones who even knew are the ones who are usually considered more computer literate than the average bear, since most people don't know what fediverse is.
Lower your bar.
Having multiple instances is confusing until you realize that you just ignore it and it doesn't matter. The problem with federation is that it isn't immediately apparent what the benefits are outside of "not Reddit" - the sign up process also didn't make it clear what the differences between various instances were, if any.
They really need to just fix the truly awful onboarding process.
Multiple instances are confusing because they matter a whole hell of a lot, and understanding exactly how instances federate things to each other is absolutely crucial to having a good experience on the fediverse.
Anyone who thinks it’s simple or doesn’t matter, or makes that annoying comparison to email really just don’t understand how the fediverse actually works.
That's my point really the whole thing is overly confusing and not all that interesting.
It’s laid out just like Spotify and Apple Music, so pretty much.
