This is the trap I was in for a long time, because you'd think that being near average is the most likely case right?

But time and again, the evidence shows that I perform above average in my field.

The evidence shows that I consider the effects of my actions more in depth than most people.

But yet, I let others mess things up and cause problems because I don't lead. Because I think I'm just as good as average.

This is just dunning kruger. You should realize if your default is "I know better", you probably don't. But if your default is "I know nothing", you're probably above average.

How does this usually get organised? How big is the group? xD

That's like 4 technologies to set up, thank god there's docker and nginx proxy with acme companion xD

I'm thinking someone could just sell "fediboxes", plug n play servers with hosted lemmy, ddns and a free domain for lazy people

Over here, they tend to be much more expensive than ICE cars. They wouldn't do well on the used market either due to battery issues that would have developed by that point...

For adoption, the upfront price has to come down.
