Comment on we need more users
ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 week agoWe can make our decentralised network more popular by centralising it feels like an own goal…
It depends what you want. If you want lots of people to join, you need to make it easy to join.
That doesn’t mean we need to get rid of decentralization. You could have a federated joining mechanism that assigned people randomly to any willing instance. Forcing the user to pick is the problem.
The trouble is a random joining procedure will absolutely launch users into unsuitable instances for their personality, political positions.

If you’re suggesting to your friends you can pick whichever instance you want, but the point is you should choose for them and don’t even tell them that there is a choice

I mean, that is how I recommend linux distros to people :)
