No I’m sorry this is not correct. Most people don’t know how email works. They don’t understand federation, how servers work, or have the confidence or patience to learn it. They want to click an app and get content.

You are on an open source self hosted federated media platform exclusively inhabited by tech super users and developers. We are very much in an echo chamber here. I leave you this study that I keep posting here when Lemmy users lament over the lack of uptake from the general public:

Because in Bluesky, you open the app, create an account, and you’re good to go.

Federation is way too complex of an idea for the average person. Picking a server and then understanding instances is much too complicated.

They don’t track and sell user data like DDG does.

I’ve been using Qwant on my laptop and phone for a couple months. Solid search. More useful than Google. The first result is usually the one I’m looking for

My wife thought it was wild how aggressive some street vendors are and how they set up tourist trinkets on blankets on the ground. We live very rurally haha

Neat! I didn’t know that. I’ll have to check it out.

Went to Europe for my honeymoon and Paris was the first stop since the wife hadn’t been to Europe. She thought it was dirty and underwhelming.

A nice city to see for sure but for sightseeing and museums. Felt like New York City in a way.

If ur mean to Elon we leave NATO.

A very hinged take. Thank you Kanye, very cool.

Dudes name was Clint. Imagine giving birth to a human child and then looking down at the pink noisemaker and thinking “that’s a Clint”.

Don’t let them win by giving up spaces they go to. The overall majority of blue sky that I’ve seen has been pretty similar to Lemmy/Mastodon in terms of general content. Make a Nazi cry, don’t let them kick you out of your spaces.

They are incompatible with society and it’s time they’re made to feel that way.
