I think only linux users moved over here... maybe
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.
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.
