    I’d love to see a post about ways to simplify the Fediverse or make it more accessible to people. I don’t want to see whatever this was.

    I think OP means “to make it more accessible” to non tech-savvy people, because yeah, decentralisation adds a layer of complexity that turns people away, and that’s not what we want I think enhancing the Sign Up process inside native clients would make it easier to give them an idea of how this works

      I’m pretty sure OP wanted to make a post here about politics/religion but would have had it immediately removed if they said it in the post…

        hatred towards folks who hold différent political views

        – a born-again pro-choice

        What people tend to hate, is religious people trying to force everyone to follow their religious beliefs

        The vast amount of people don’t give a fuck what a religion says or what their followers do (as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, especially children).

        Forcing a 12 year old rape victim to become a mom, is hurting children.

        Forcing a 17 year old to become a mom, is hurting children.

        And forcing any person/couple to become parent(s) is hurting that hypothetical child.

        And that’s not even getting into all the other religious views that various religions keep trying to make law to force everyone to follow.

    You don’t want to “simplify the Fediverse”, you just want to not be challenged in your views.

    Email is simple enough for people. This is no different.
    The real problem is the chicken and egg inertia of crowds.

      actually, I’ve seen quite a lot of people not actually understanding email they just associate Gmail with it, and use Google’s UI to write and read, but that’s just the surface the same happens with people associating Google with the whole internet concept, like not understanding what a web browser is

        People want to go where the people are. Once people have found a spot it’s extremely difficult to peel them away to another spot, because not many people are there. That’s the real problem in getting people embracing the fediverse.

    Toss six philosophical grenades into one paragraph and then act shocked when nobody writes a dissertation in the replies before hitting downvote. The dopamine economy marches on!

      the fediverse is too complex to free people from centralized stuff

      Not really, people understood email just fine, and fediverse isn’t that different. The problem is there’s a major subtle push to make anything open source look way more complex than it is. It’s basically an open secret that microsoft did this with linux, and I’d be shocked if social media companies aren’t doing the same.

      it’s extremely biased towards leftism

      That’s inevitable. Anything foss will appeal far more to the anti corporate/ anti capitalist leftist people.

        Not really

        Human variation…

        Some people have difficulty with simple things, and they assume everyone else is the same because that’s their frame of reference.

        The president does it constantly…

      Right wingers don’t want me to exist and are actively working on that. Billionaires the world over fund right wingers to push their religious extremism. I’m fine if one fucking space on the Internet doesn’t cater to them.

      I’m staunchly opposed to mass murder in all its forms.

          just kidding, but its funny u feel the need to affirm ur against mass murders.

          Thats a bit terrifying to imagine that one day some of u guys & chicks with or without dicks get elected. Socialist leaders murdered millions of peopevin the 20th century.

          Fascists/nazis leaders were both mass murderers too

          I’m addressing your point here. I don’t randomly bring up that I’m against mass murder, believe it or not.

    First implement full portability/migration then just ask few questions about user interests to suggest an instance that suit the best the interests
