    I remember having a bus come every hour. If you miss that bus, then oops you’re an hour late for work.

    If you run 5 minutes late in your car, then you are 5 minutes late for work.

    Also if you have to take 3 or so busses to connect somewhere, depending on how the scheduling worked out, you could get unlucky and have an hour wait between bus 1 & 2 and an hour wait between bus 2 & 3.

    Taxis cost a decent amount of money here.

    Uber/Lyft/etc are hit and miss. App says if you need to be somewhere at 9am, to request the ride at like 8:30 or whatever. And when you do, you don’t get anyone showing up or someone will grab your ride, not come to you for 10 minutes, and then put your request for a ride back out there for someone else to grab.

    I think what scares people off is looking for an explanation and seeing 15 page documents or 30 minute videos explaining it.

    “Fediverse lets different sites talk to each other. It’s like if Facebook could follow people on Twitter and subscribe to subreddits so now your Facebook page has Facebook posts, reddit Twitter posts, and reddit posts all in one, if you want. If you join a site on the fediverse, you can communicate with any other site on the fediverse easily.” 3 sentences gets the job done for what’s needed.

    One they’re in kbin or whatever, they can learn the site. “oh a magazine is like a subreddit or like channels in a discord server” or whatever they’re used to.

    I wish that’s how it was explained to me. I’m not massively into technology but it interests me casually so I was able to put up with the long explanations because it felt interesting to me. But it really could be boiled down so much more for newbies.
