  🤷‍♂️ there’s got to be some place for the average person to go without being screamed at by some nerd calling them a boot licker.

    The people here and their attitude towards people who don’t agree with them are the problem.

    And that’s a structural problem. The ActivityPub was supposed to allow both the “average person” and the “nerd” to coexist in the same platform, without one getting too much in the way of the other; it doesn’t.

    I’m not sure on a good solution for that.

      They don’t coexist peacefully in life, why would they do it here?

    But your normie friends and family would fit in a lot better if they simply read some T H E O R Y.

      For many people, learning things and reading are anathema.

  It’s all fun and games until venture capital kicks in, and exploit that central user data store to further centralise the rest of the network. Even then yes, I think that Mastodon has a lot to learn with Bluesky, on how to make user experience smoother.

    Or I think you know, users are going to have to get over themselves because they are currently going from centralized platform to centralized platform to supposedly decentralized platform. Eventually, maybe one day they will figure out that platforms do not work and protocols are what people should be using.

      I get what you say, and I agree; but when it comes to the average user I wonder if they’ll even get it. They don’t think on the grounds of a “protocol” or a “platform”, it used to be “site” and now “app”. They do it even with email, of all things, even if it’s one of the oldest cross-platform protocols out there!

      The average user is hopping from phone app to phone app, following their favourite interner celebrity. They don’t care about the rest.

      Meanwhile, VC backed businesses can buy internet celebrities, and on the cheap.
