Can you explain the benefits of the fediverse over a centralized private site to a regular person in 5-second quip that will convince them that the relative complexity of using the fediverse versus BlueSky is worth the effort?

Billionares with mega yacht fleets are choosing bluesky over mastodon.

Like it or not, a regular person doesn't give two shits about that.

Talk for yourself, the average person does indeed care about the environment. In the past years there have been massive greenwashing campaigns from companies trying to please the average customer.

Yeah because it doesn't cost them anything to say they "do their part" when they make token "commitments". It's not because the average person gives a shit. Give them a choice - $5 more an hour, or instantly and forever solve climate change and see how many people would choose climate change.

People complain about having to sort trash before throwing it out. Saying "most people care about the environment" is extremely naive.

Man, I wanna live in your neighborhood. I'm surrounded by bougie people or people with bougie fantasies. They talk all the time about drinking wine on a boat.
