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 ~~notice~~ care—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
I've seen this term on Mastadon. I'm actually confused by it a bit, since I've always thought replies are to be expected on the Internet.
I think women have a problem with men following them and replying in an overly familiar manner, or mansplaining, or something like that. I'm old, used to forums, and never used Twitter, so I may be missing some sort of etiquette that developed there. I generally don't reply at all on Mastadon because of this, and really, I'm not sure what Mastadon or microblogging is for. Seems to be for developing personal brands, and for creators of content to inform followers of what they created. Seems not to be for discussion. I.e. more like RSS than Reddit (that's my understanding at least).
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.
What is this? The 90's?
