@SciPolTech I don't think that people are lying? You could argue that they "just" need to put in a bit more effort, but maybe it's best to find ways to further improve the user experience? There's some really low hanging fruit, like https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/37690. @ghouston @oblomov @libreoffice

    @stefan @ghouston @oblomov @libreoffice yeah, I'm all in favour of usability improvements. Nothing complex is ever finished and certainly not perfect. I just don't see how anyone who can function unaided in the general world can't use mastodon, especially someone who has used Twitter / X. Really the only 'issues' I can imagine are initial uncertainty about choosing an instance, and the fact that 'feed' will be very quiet unless / until you proactively populate it.

  • @stefan@stefanbohacek.online @SciPolTech@mastodon.online @ghouston@mamot.fr @oblomov@sociale.network @libreoffice@fosstodon.org people are "lying" because they're discounting that their friend groups are the ones who educate them. "There's this new site called Facebook, let me help you sign up." Followed by "everyone can see the message you just wrote. 😳 Let me show you how to..." etc. Expecting zero friction is exhausting.
