@lain how girls would dress if JoAnns fabrics was the only place on earth to buy fabrics

@lain how girls would dress is pre-midcentury modern couches were seen as the ultimate sex symbol

@shibao yes

getting burrito in 90 minutes

want burrito now

the 'no ads" thing is another thing the average "normal person' both understands and is in favor of, and last i checked most non-self hosted email serves ads

like ive said before, my opening to fedi was "microblogging with no algo/chronological feed" and thats what made me care enough to actually learn about decentralization

@sun @Alex @shibao from personal experience I'm not sure that's true, you just need to word it as "you see posts in the order they were made" instead of "you see what we think you care about or else

@sun @Alex @shibao I'm REALLY not a fan of XCKD or whatever but that one comic of "experts in fields always assume layman knowledge is 4x what it actually is" applies here

@sun @Alex @shibao in fact ive seen more people defend those two things who are politically opiniated in either way than I have "just want to grill" types

@sun @Alex @shibao even people who dont give a shit about politics hate algos and non-chron by default feeds

the fediverse... is not a big truck

@sun @Alex @shibao 'its twitter without money being poured into an algorithm or corporate entities controlling what you see or it being run by a huge faggot (first jack, then Elon

then after that if someone is into it (like I was) you actually teach them infra

@sun @Alex @shibao have you ever jumped into a random email thread you werent CC'd in without havintg the cops called on you?

@sun @shibao @ageha little caesers is better than domios

@sun @shibao @ageha i would bet my bank account that if I told her today our choices were pizza hut saipan or the mexican place/nepalese buffet with no third cop out option we'd be having burritos by noon

@sun @shibao @ageha 1) good riddance 2) thats what I mean by well-meaning but otherwise clueless

those people want "twitter without le nazis

and i dont think telling them fedi is email is going to help retention rates

@sun @shibao @ageha thats on you tbh, this is the second best social media UX I've ever used

and I'm not saying UX is the be all end all. I'm saying its much easier to make someone understand something if you start with common ground "It's like [thing you use in function] but not in form" then describe the form after

@sun @shibao @ageha its literally the UX

the UX of fedi and email are fundamentally different. you start by explaining the UX to well-meaning, curious, but otherwsie clueless normies then you describe infra.

like I said, if my first intro to this place was "It's like gmail talking to hotmail" you never would've seen me post again

@shibao @ageha @sun point me to one that shows the emaila 2.5k people send to 1.7k people
