Tricky thing is going to be the onboarding process for laypeople. Problem with the fediverse is helping people wrap their heads around servers. People think the server is the “community.” And it kind of is, and it kind of isn’t. Servers are a community of people, but severs also host capital C “Communities” within them.

This is probably the biggest thing holding back the adoption of the fediverse. This user experience problem hasn’t been cracked. Onboarding isn’t intuitive.

Towns and communities is a really good analogy.

Honestly, a simple little language change like that, if adopted by the developers, might simplify onboarding a for people.

When you introduce new tech, the best way to onboard folks is to use metaphor and to reference patterns they’re already familiar with.

Interesting, I wonder how they’ll handle communities being decentralized.

My money is on a DDoS attack. DDoS attacks are 100% going to happen after what Spez pulled.

My wife and I were talking about this 2 days ago. She was betting money that we’d see DDoS attacks early Monday.

And it will remain that way if early adopters don’t stay and post content

lol. That Colbert Report header graphic.

Like comparing the echo in a bathroom to the echo in the Grand Canyon.

The comment section is filled with people saying how they should just kick the mods out of the dark Reddit’s and take over, ofcourse these posts are heavily upvoted…

Thing is, all the people in favor of the protest left Reddit. So now pro-Reddit content is being upvoted.

Nah. All the pro-blackout folks left. So now only assholes remain.
