This is a follow-up to Tim Chambers’ “The Seven Deadly UX Sins”, in which we collaboratively review where and how the network has improved over the past six months, with a lot of different initiatives to show for it!
the “sins” read like that have expectations that the fediverse will be just like the centralized platforms; it’s not and will fail if they try to become like them.
