I don't think the problem is limited to "morons." I understand this system and have operated federated services in the past, but it is a lot more work just to navigate this when compared to something like Reddit. I don't have a ton of free time, and I'd rather spend that time engaging with the community vs wrestling with the service or trying to find which instance has the most activity. I know this will get better as it grows, but a lot of people will just get fed up and go somewhere they can just socialize.
