Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
Endmaker@ani.social 2 weeks agoJUST LIKE EMAIL YOU NITWIT!
We have very different perceptions of how people approach emails.
Guess how tech illiterates(?) approach email? They sign up on Gmail - perhaps with some handholding - and that’s it. That’s all they know or care about.
And before you say they don’t deserve to be on the internet: they are all using Facebook, Youtube, Whatsapp, etc. Unless platforms like Lemmy actually treat new users better, there’s not much incentive for people to switch.

They sign up on AOL or Yahoo Mail or Gmail. Or get an email address through their ISP.
“Here’s your address.” They use it.
