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

  Where they are is having spent most of their life in a walled garden corporate internet. What you need to understand is that all new things have a learning curve, and the process of learning needs to be accepted - rather than trying to pressure free systems into being the very thing everyone is wanting to get away from.

  Freedom means having choice. Sometimes a lot of it. Sometimes that’s scary. But it’s worth embracing.

    If any of that were true there wouldn’t be posts and comments here and elsewhere from professional programmers who gave up on the registration process because of bad UX. I was one of them. People don’t give up on registering here because it’s “scary”.

    If you’re one of the many people here happy for this to remain a niche for tech people then that’s different.

      If somebody gave up on the registration, how would you know? They wouldn’t be here to say it.

      If you gave up on the registration, then how are you here? You’re inventing impossible physics to support your arguments. Are you a professional programmer for doge?

      Here’s what your expert opinion is really about:

        “If somebody gave up on the registration, how would you know?” Because although I have an account here on Lemmy I can still see discussions on comparable sites.

        “If you gave up on the registration, then how are you here?” Because I came back a year later after coming across a good explainer for how the fediverse works.

        I’m not going to look at that link.
