Windows user checks in. But I've got to admit, just as with Mastodon, the sign-up process (and finding communities across servers) might scare some people that are not as familiar with computers as most people that are on here now.
Honestly, signing up was a horrible experience.
I signed up yesterday. It was not bad at all. No blood oaths or anything.
I had swear the First Ideal. The storm light is kinda fun though.

Yea... Username and email verification? Nothing wild
It took me a few tries over multiple days to sign up successfully
I had to try 3 servers before I could sign up. Most people would've given up.
Really? I don't know, I just went to a page and wrote in my data, just like registering on any other page.
It took me about 12 attempts over a few weeks to sign up. It always got stuck at the "submit" and would just load endlessly, but never send the confirmation mail.
Different computers and phones and browsers and happened across multiple servers. ...I can totally see how that drives away a lot of people.

That was my experience today. Finally got through, but it took several attempts.
That's true.
That's not a terrible thing
