    That’s for sure. But just as an example a friend of mine wanted to move away from reddit but found lemmy too confusing with how people explained it. If nobody is there to actually tell him how simple it actually is he’d never move over here.

    Anyone from Lemmy explaining how it works on reddit with 3 paragraphs is writing 2 and a half paragraphs too many to actually get people to move here.

    and mastodon just can’t have the social network with how confusing it is to a normal user, just like lemmy.

    Decentralized platforms will never take off as long as people talk about how it works, you just need a URL with a sign up function that works and an app you can install, log in to and it works. That’s what a normal user wants.





  • We really need more people working on tech that both has great privacy but also simplicity. Currently you always have to pick between convenience or privacy. Everybody that keeps pushing self hosting doesn’t get that not everybody has the skills or time to set that up.

    I work in IT, I do QA, I write test automation code, I setup CI/CD pipelines but the moment you put me on networking stuff I’m done, gg well played. It’s a whole new skillset so if I as someone who grew up and work in a technical job has a hard time with it don’t even think its going mainstream.
