Experimental Cyborg

No, nowadays people expect computers to be skill-less intuitive devices, like toasters. And i kind of agree with them because you need one for everything nowadays, so it makes sense for them to be usable by everyone too. Though it seems schools are also dropping the ball massively on that front.

How do you give gold on lemmy

I haven’t seen shit talking as much as “This is why mastodon isn’t welcoming to most people”. It’s a fine platform for its niche but it’s a niche, and some mastodon users seem a little salty about it / don’t realize they’re a niche.

Literally this. bsky is just chilling while a group of users on lemmy and mastodon are losing their shit about it, without doing anything to make their own platforms actually better for the average normie user. If they don’t want normies there’s nothing to complain about, if they do, they should be taking notes on what bsky is doing.

I assume the main reason is that ActivityPub is a mess and quite overcomplicated for bsky’s needs. Being permanently tied to it seems like a big risk. There’s no reason why they couldn’t make a compatibility layer later and hook into it.

It’s pretty common… Some people with low self esteem flirt for attention. It’s fucked, but it’s sad for both parties, really.

Same dude. The only way to get over it is to get out there and try again, unfortunately.

“You guys” Bro the only us and them are billionaires and everyone else. Stop being distracted and focus on the problem, the fuckers siphoning any and all value away from honest hard working people and then blaming other less fortunate honest hard working people for it.

Mastodon is gatekept to hell and back, the technicalities of federation are exposed to the user for some reason (you already lose half your potential user base right there), infighting between instances means that you won’t see the entire discourse of a post depending on which instance you’re at…

And besides all that, bsky is not as “corpo” as mastodon fanboys make it out to be. They’re on track to open up to privately hosted instances as well, and you can already run most of their backend stuff yourself.
