@BlackAzizAnansi Saw a toot a couple of days ago that insisted that there should be *more* friction for new users. They didn't care that a less streamlined experience would keep the "normies" out. They prefer it that way. It's just gatekeeping.

Those same kinds of people will whinge and bitch about people going to the likes of Meta/Bluesky/Twitter. Headass behaviour.

@kv @BlackAzizAnansi Yes! This is the strength of the Fediverse. Its weakness is in the fact that its user experience can be difficult to navigate for people who aren't technically-minded, or who are used to algorithm-based services that do all the work for them.

When people do make the effort to sign up, the last thing they need is a bunch of people telling them they are somehow morally and intellectually inferior for not getting here sooner. But that's what they read here. Daily.

Just migrated to mastodon.world from .social and the process was super easy, thanks to this great post by @djnavarro:
