the "sins" read like that have expectations that the fediverse will be just like the centralized platforms; it's not and will fail if they try to become like them.

I disagree. Decentralization has its own quirks when it comes to usability. This is not a call to exactly emulate centralized platforms, but a recognition of where many of the pain points are, and how we can collectively improve the UX to make it a better experience for newcomers.

#2 is a really dumb criticism. Nobody is getting confused with having 3 feeds, as they're fairly straightforward. You want just your subscriptions? Use the "Home" feed. The other 2 are just different flavors of Reddit's "All" feed. Not that hard to figure out.
