They tend to portray everything new, different and/or popular with geeks as bad or complicated, I see this as a rite of passage for the fediverse. Remember when they were shitting on computer gaming in the early days of the hobby because of who it was initially popular among?

I still remember the "do cell phones cause cancer?" news reports that aired on my local news when I was a kid.
