As long as its not twitter :-)
We get it, no matter how many times people get fucked by venture capital pushing enshittification, most people don’t actually care enough about the issues at hand to deal with even the minor discomfort of learning something new that isn’t highly polished. They’ll take getting fucked by corporations every time.
Edit: lol
It’s not about “minor discomfort.” The Fediverse has too much UX friction for someone that isn’t in tech/used to a product that isn’t mature in features or content. Even if they are fine with that, they need to spend time to figure out what server(s) to trust, or at least an organization they can sue if things go wrong.
Ranting about “normies” instead of listening and understanding what their needs and concerns are is not conducive to growth, but it’ll certainly help it decay.
Exactly. Most Fediverse fans always go on a rant about “corporations”, “enshittification”, whatever, when they don’t understand that not everyone will take/have time to learn about these things. Not everything is simple as in just click a big “download” button or “create account”. It’s those new extra steps that confuse those people, some who are of old age, or never saw a desktop computer before. It needs actual designers. Same thing with other FOSS projects.
No, no. It’s definitely about “getting fucked” as SnotFlickerman succinctly put it. It’s just users getting ravaged by corporations so hard they don’t
noticecare—or something.
and when they do figure out the unintuitive UX, they’re met with an avalanche of reply guys and, if they’re Black, a fuckload of overt and covert racism that everyone else will ignore…
there’s a reason why most people on the fedi are white men in tech
only the queer community seems to have managed to carve itself a place on the fedi, and even it has big issues of rampant racism
Reply guys?
basically, someone online (usually a man) who replies to another person (usually a woman) in a condescending tone, or giving unsolicited advice, that sorta stuff
Both digital and real world spaces benefit from diversity.
But, but eMAil!!!1!!!
Lemmevangelists really like the email analogy because they think literally anyone knows or cares how email works. 99% of people lose you the moment you say the word “protocol”
The vast majority of email address domains aren’t chosen, they come from your ISP, Cell phone/computer OS manufacturer, or employer/school. That’s the opposite of the fedeverse account creation process.
ISP, Cell phone/computer OS manufacturer, or employer/school
What is this? The 90’s?
Tech enthusiasts vastly overestimate how much hassle people are willing to put up with in order to do something, and this is a classic example.
Seriously the number of people on here complaining about Windows bloat. I’m not even 100% sure what the hell that’s supposed to mean. I’m a normie and my windows runs fine.
Edit:spelling
Apply that to Linux now.

except. EXCEPT! i came here to get away from the other places. every other post is about reddit, bluesky, or fucking twitter. holy fuck.
linux is actually dope. i used debian btw
Lemmy’s become the place to talk about other places.
They would have come to Lemmy if it was the platform they wanted. We can bitch and moan about them wanting something that we think is against their best interests, but what’ll that do?
I’m making fun of them the same way I’m making fun of Trump voters. They don’t like me pointing out that they’re going to get what they chose.
“But it’s my right to be ignorant and not have to learn about the issues!” -Bluesky users and Trump voters, somehow.
Are we
therefederated yet?Nice one!

I currently don’t have a BlueSky account. Might do, but I’m not so sure. I don’t have a reason to yet.
For me, there is far more content available if I want to doom scroll, especially about a particular topic.
For the most part yes, but not always and also once it gets too big you lose those same creative minds to the sea of trash and mediocrity

If none of your family /friend are on facebook, you wont use it. If you cant find like minded people on Lemmy, you wont use it.
Less people mean on average you have less chance to have your friend/family there, or like minded people or ‘quality’ people. Just on average.
We can argue that some platform get all the good people, but I think that is mostly a false belief
I use Arch btw

I feel the same way about linux. Every post remotely related to tech brings on the linux bro trying to convert you to their religion of linux
I used to be mad about Linux for the same reason. In more recent times I have a different feeling, but I can’t deny how annoying they can be.
I’ve just made peace with it tbh
Feels like something musky would say
No, musky would strawman the entire fediverse and slippery slope BSky, or some baby reaction like that.
And don’t complain about BS to get content, and then post it here, ofc
I don’t get it, could you explain?
Probably mean the weird double standard where a big portion of the content on lemmy is bluesky screenshots and no one complains about them, but somehow whenever you mention bluesky as an alternative to twitter people will completely ignore the features that make it more popular than mastodon and demonise it to make it sound as bad as twitter.
Thanks 😁😅
You got the correct answer from the complicated pseudo 😅
Feels like something a millionaire boot licker would say
is that a millionaire who licks boots, or one who licks the boots of millionaires? also, what?
That goes for everyones screeching about Facebook, x, ig, TikTok, etc right? Right?
Is it Elon?
Should have had the Mastedon logo on Shrek’s head
Boy telling people not to talk about Elon’s competition and then pretending it is something else.
The future is so bright I’ve gotta wear shades.
