Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
Yeah this happened to me too. I guess I made bad choices.
-
Yeah, it's full of tankies and transphobes.
-
What you call brigading are just normal people like me who encountered right-wing america-centered bullcrap and react to it.
I never saw tankies spamming the lemmyverse to whine about world.

You fascist swine

Yes I figured but wasn't sure if I wasn't missing something lol. Well at least I learned a new term (defederated).
-
well in that case join an instance that doesn't federate with queer/transphobe instances?
This is the advantage of federated social networks - it gives full control to the people who run their own instances -
That would require people actually recommending specific websites, and all people seem to want to do is circle jerk about "lemmy", as if it's a tangible place and not a website engine
-
What UX? At least my instance have like 5 different forms to access, in the browser, then you have the apps too. There's no way all of those UX are not good for you

Ah yes, because telling people the reason they don't join your platform is invalid is sure to make them change their minds.
0 marketing sense. People like you are why the Reddit userbase mostly steers clear.

I guess that is because people don't understand what the fediverse is and why it exists.
It is one of the foundational problems the fediverse aims to fix. Marginalized communities get all the tools and authority to protect themselves from hatred and abuse.That would require people actually recommending specific websites
I actually think that's the way to go! lemmy.blahaj.zone would be one example of a queer-inclusive community.

Well the concept of email is much more popular than the concept of a reddit style platform or even social media entirely. So information spread more easily.
And nowadays people just sign up for the account "required" by the OS of their phone which mostly comes with an email address. -
I picked the wrong one when I was a kid. I barely know why I picked the instance I did. It is hard to pick one. I say when trying to join lemmy, there should be interests tags that you select and an instance is populated for you.
-
When you read that stuff on reddit there's a parameter you need to keep in mind : these people are not really discussing Lemmy. They're rationalizing and justifying why they are not on Lemmy. Totally different conversation.
Nobody wants to come out and say "I know mainstream platforms are shit and destroying the fabric of reality but I can't bring myself to be on a platform except it is the Hip Place to Be". So they'll invent stuff that paints them in a good light.
You'll still see people claiming that Mastodon is unusable because you have to select an instance - even though you don't have to, you can just type Mastodon on Google, click the first link, and create an account in 2 clicks. It's been ages. But the people still using Twitter need the excuse because otherwise what does it make them?
-
Blahaj still federates with .world, which as you said in your previous comment is a problem.
-
Is this a joke?
