Therein lies the problem. A lot of people already get decision fatigue trying to choose a server and don’t get past the sign up. Assuming that they are still willing to try and use a third party app, you get to layer finding a good app that works reliably on top of that and learning how to use the app which will be significantly different from the website. There comes a point where it’s not tech illiteracy but a lack of time and interest spending hours how to use a service that is much harder to get into than its competitors.

I know it’s hard for tech literate people to understand but choosing a server is daunting. Most people chose their email because it was linked to a service they were already familiar with like Google and Microsoft. There’s no familiarity with the Lemmy or mastodon instances and there are so many of them that people who already have trouble learning new technologies get to deal with decision fatigue on top of that. People like what is familiar and having a service that mostly works the same is still very confusing for them.
As the youngest child in my family, I was most definitely not “The favorite” but I was able to get away with the most.
2·1 year agoI don’t know where this quote originated. I first heard it from my future SO and it goes something like this
“It is human nature to assume that once we have found the answer, we will find peace. Instead, one must find peace first, then the answer will come.”

If he is in the US, I suspect he also didn’t want to pay out the nose for an ambulance.
Fuck… It’s one thing to hear about it. Watching it is something completely different. I don’t know that I want to consume eggs ever again.
This man was president of the United States for four years and there is a good chance he will be president for another four…
They don’t want some of the money. They want ALL of the money and they have nothing but contempt for their users. They don’t just want a small revenue stream that they need to share with other entities. They want to monetize every aspect of their service and they can only do that if they force users to use their app. They have big plans for the app to make it even shittier I imagine.
The third one is rust which has become a meme at this point. Programmers like it because it has almost as much performance as C but has a lot of safeguards preventing memory errors and vulnerabilities. I have no idea what the last one is tho

When Windows started getting pre installed bloatware is around the time I made my full switch to Linux. When Samsung phones started doing the same, I switched away from them too. Srsly, I will become a luddite before I use any devices that force apps I don’t want on me. It’s abusive and shouldn’t be legal.
