Cool. Doesn’t change the fact that for a regular joe, “sign up” is what they want to click and then share a link or follow some guy. Not do research on what platform to join, what instance, what’s an instance, what happens if you join a wrong one. The fediverse is a gimmick that most people don’t need.
What is instance? There are two buttons - sign up for mastodon or choose another instance, I just want to register etc etc.
People dont care for decentralization, they want to sign up and share a link.
Except for the fact that most people dont like jumping through multiple hoops to register an account / need to do research beforehand to do it.
It was secured in a cardboard box. Have you read the article at all?
Orrrrrr, hear me out, just click once and get an online account because you don’t care.
And yes, the command line is an issue to most regular users. My parents don’t grasp the concept of keyboard shortcuts for copying and pasting. I get a phone call every time they try to attach a file to an email, where they say the steps when they are doing it so they don’t fuck it up. If you use the computer to access a single webpage that’s bookmarked, youtube and ebay, maybe an hour every week at most, expecting them to have to learn a new system and a command line isn’t feasible. People like icons and clicking. If you managed to get rid of a keyboard and maintain functionality, they’d switch in a heartbeat. That’s why smartphones are so popular. That’s why kids preffer touchscreen over controller, and are basically unable to play keyboard and mouse anymore.
“safely” as in are too small for the regulatory bodies to care. Takes one report though.
They’re a reddit mod, seems par for the course
It has always been a threat / call to violence and anyone saying otherwise is trying to justify it / soften the meaning.
So now you are telling a user to make 3 or 4 accounts at once
They are still ignored, or turn the population away from your propositions.
Provided everyone sees it and moves there and not just stops seeing the content altogether and forgets about it. Remember, social media is like 95% lurkers. Also this assumes you are moving instances instead of there being two already that have different people watching them / moderating them.
It’s not just lemmy.ml… That’s the problem with any instance - that an idiot like me can just host one and be “the king”. Then a community grows, but the king still sits on the throne - whether he is qualified or not. Reddit had years to get rid of most of those issues with established modteams. Communities that had bad moderation faded away. Communities that “made it” had okayish mods since there were thousands of people to pressure a team acting like a-holes. Lemmy has barely any users compared to that, so a bad admin / moderator is more visible. Also, lemmy is heavily skewed towards echochambers, even more than reddit was.
Splitting communities just creates more issues - with having to crosspost to 2 or 3 groups of people who might not interact with one another. It’s honestly no wonder that there exists a “mega instance” in lemmy.world
The issue with that is trolls who either 1. ask for source when something is an easy to find fact of life (i.e. it doesn’t need a scientific paper / article or whatever to prove). To later try to convince / discredit you that your link does not show what you claim (when it does). This one is to waste the other person’s time and nothing else, and is really popular by kremlin bots 2. launch an outlandish claim with no source, you counter it and then you are asked by OP to provide your source, then back to 1. for the rest of the bullshit that they do.
Ultimately it doesn’t matter much when you reply to 2 - 3 people like that, but posting more often, it does simply waste your time.
Lemmy is no more elite or exclusive than Reddit.
It never could go the other way, you can’t make a baby using two dads’ sperm. You can get twins (which is incredibly rare). But that just means two people with different fathers and doesn’t matter when you look at a specific one. At best, if there wasn’t any incest, you’d get equal male and female ancestors.
Means great^20 grandpa did the deed with great^19 grandma and made a baby
Or the dude was fucking with you and you took it so hard it impacted you permanently
Lmao
