My point exactly. How do you function in life if choice is too much for you to comprehend? Maybe people just need a website called Lemmy.org that redirects them to a random approved server and that’s it. “UX” problem solved.
If selecting a server is too much, then directing them to a random on that fits their criteria should solve the problem. Which joinlemmy, joinmastodon, joinoixelfed, and so on do.
If even that is too much, then I’m totally fine without those people as I question what kind of stuff they’ll be saying.
And this isn’t even elitist. It’s not “you have to have the ActivityPub spec memorised” or even know what ActivityPub is. It’s like “which email host should I pick”. No deeper than that.
If Facebook and Apple have eroded people’s brains to the point where such a simple question cannot be answered without freaking out, then we’re in trouble.
What’s there to understand? Does the average person understand that reddit consists of a frontend written in a frontend framework that compiles to HTML, CSS, and JS? Do they understand that HTTPS is used to make the request between the client and server on port 443? Do they know that the request is processed by a back end connecting to postgresql and redis or memcache for faster responses? That most assets are probably delivered by a CDN?
Probably not. And why should they? They don’t need to understand how the fediverse works, nor do they have to understand how email works. All they need to do is select a server, create an account, and start interacting. Same as email.
There’s no mystery. The fediverse isn’t complicated unless you freak out and start realising that the entire internet is more complicated than the shiny, glossy thing on top of it - which doesn’t need to be understood to have simple interactions with.
Honestly, if picking a server is too difficult, how have you survived this long? It’s literally like picking an email host. That’s the UX people are complaining about. How far have we fallen that making a choice is now a problem? “Pick what you like” leads to people going “OMG, this is terrible, I have to make my own decisions😭😭” No wonder people love AI, because they can’t think for themselves.
The only improvement would be setting a default or giving them themes to choose from which they are interested in and selecting a server for them based on that.
Some people never do 🤷 I’m just wondering what people will do once BlueSky becomes the shithole we expect it to be. Maybe by then people will see the fediverse as the next place to swarm?
Given how things are going, I bet you’re right. Maybe Musk will create a Bluesky instance (or whatever that federalized yet centralized thing is called).

53·7 days agoStill, it’s quite impressive. A translation layer in between and still it’s on par. It would be interesting to see native vs proton versions only.
CS2 was tested on proton, but CS2 runs natively. It’s not a useful comparison.
He said in the video that he tried to run it natively, but it just wouldn’t start somehow.
171·8 days agoYou can speak freely in anonymous and encrypted channels e.g a matrix server on I2P/TOR, a signal group (just don’t use your name), simplex, retroshare over I2P, etc. Telegram is not encrypted!
Just search for “piracy $channel” e.g “piracy I2P chat”, “piracy simplex chat”, “piracy signal chat”, or something similar and you’ll find something. There might even be a forum hosted on TOR or I2P if the piracy community is that motivated.
But always remember not to give too many details about yourself. Being anonymous isn’t just a technical requirement, it also required personal effort. Tech can’t do everything for you.
1·10 days agoWhat is the connection between your client and server? Is it wireless and going over the router first? Does it work with a direct, wired connection between client and server?
If your connection goes over your router, does your router have a DNS server? What options do you have for DNS config on your router?
1·12 days agoAre vcpkg and conan widespread in your experience? Mine has still been majorly “works on my machine with unnamed debian version and unrestricted library version”, which still breaks like 90% of the time.
You don’t want them invading the Android and Java space? 😄
Nvm. Completely missed the small “www.reddit.com” under the post. Didn’t realise it was clickable. Thanks!
Was it taken down? I don’t see it. Why was it being promoted in the first place and how was it not immediately banned? I thought reddit banned anything lemmy related.
Homegrown mapping solutions like… OpenStreetMap? Why are governments so concentrated on building private stuff instead of sharing the data?
According to OpenEuroLLM, the models, software, data, and evaluation will be fully open. […] The models will be available for commercial, industrial, and public services.
“OpenEuroLLM”. Is this going to be another misnomer for a model that isn’t actually open? The quote doesn’t give me much hope. I bet they’ll have to use Anna’s Archive to train their AI too 🤫
No thank you. I’m not going to waste my time to try and find your made up definition of censorship.
I don’t know of another frontend. You might want to try only office instead.
