actually, I’ve seen quite a lot of people not actually understanding email
they just associate Gmail with it, and use Google’s UI to write and read, but that’s just the surface
the same happens with people associating Google with the whole internet concept, like not understanding what a web browser is
People want to go where the people are. Once people have found a spot it’s extremely difficult to peel them away to another spot, because not many people are there. That’s the real problem in getting people embracing the fediverse.
Email is simple enough for people. This is no different.
The real problem is the chicken and egg inertia of crowds.

And the fediverse can work more or less exactly the same way for those people.
