Counterpoint: This tiny little hurdle keeps out the lazy and ignorant.
That's how I feel right now. I don't need the Fediverse to replace reddit and Twitter, I want it to be a refuge from the commercialized crap! The people who can't be bothered to figure out Lemmy or Mastodon can stay right where they are!
Exactly, lemmy feels like my kind of people. Going against proprietary stuff, against privacy nightmares. It's the fact that I can relate to people here that makes it such a good replacement for commercial alternatives.
Exactly. Why would I want anyone else in my community when I can just talk to myself! !league@lemmy.ml
I think these communities are plenty big already! I spent a while on tildes before coming here so in used to, and enjoy, smaller communites.
But people using those platforms is not good for our society. Of course if they cared about freedom a little bit of extra difficulty wouldn't really bother them. But the goal should be to make the switch as easy as possible.
