Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy

Who cares? If someone can’t figure out how to join a server, then I don’t want them here. If people think that reddit has some amazing UX, then I don’t want them here.
The post about Lemmy has 500 upvotes while the crybaby replies only have like 100.
The question is: do we want people to leave corporate services, and join the fediverse, or not? By showing such hostility towards such “crybabies” we will never get any traction.
We are facing a problem. “Crybabies” are arguing about lack of content and/or difficulty on signing up. People on Lemmy are arguing that they don’t want such users in their communities. Other people, thinking of onboarding, may not join after seeing hostile users like you.
…and the fediverse doesn’t need to dominate all social media. Period.
You’ll never be able to migrate the IG influencer whose affiliate marketing business relies on the algorithm, or the Titkok million views dude who makes money off their views and lives. So I really don’t understand this argument of “Oh we’re alienating mass users”.
Just like there’s non-profit orgs vs businesses, open source software vs commerical ones, there also fediverse vs commercial social media. I prefer it here, and to each their own.
