My friends are in real life, not on Mastodon or Bluesky.

Not everyone interested in doing detective work to find accounts related to their interests. It’s perfectly reasonable to expect social media platforms to help with that discovery.

If preventing centralization is important to you, then you should care about the product experience of the decentralized platforms.

In that case you're just using these platforms for free entertainment in exchange for being advertised to. That's ok, but that use case is already solved by facebook, instagram, and twitter, better than Mastodon.
