I made a blog post on my biggest issue in Lemmy and the proposed solutions for it. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
And yet people want a better solution and are asking for it. And the only response you, an owned of 15+ instances, and an admin of a website that helps people find instances, can make is “deal with it it’s meant to be hard”. It’s a huge usability problem, it’s funny that you don’t see it. Consider this my last reply to you.
You repeated the accusation of “not seeing it”, misinterpreted what I am saying as “deal with it, it’s meant to be hard” when I am actually saying the exact opposite (It does not require a lot of work to figure out “organically” and it is not hard to workaround the issue) and when asked repeatedly for actual instances of this being “a huge usability issue”, you run away with some pretentious posturing. That’s just lame.
It’s the Linux mindset, the pain is the point.
Bruh we just don’t do the addiction painkillers of corporate. Doesn’t mean at all that the pain is the point.
The pain is the point. The fediverse expects you to know the right answer, and go through the pain of figuring it out. It could make changes to make finding the answer easier, but new usersare expected to suffer just like existing ones have.
It’s the same with Linux, you have to know a handful of quirks that could be eliminated, but doing so provides 0 benefits to existing users. No one cares about letting new users have an easier time than they did.
Yeah I have seen this plenty in open source. It’s like people don’t want other people to use their software, or they forget a regular user isn’t tech savy and they just want to talk about their hobby, not look around in 50 places seeing where to post.
