You’re being downvoted by an echo chamber for calling out the echo chamber.

I agree. It’s just a small barrier when it comes to the lack of content and sensitive community.

Swing and a miss.

Bluesky had an app like that. Skylight or something like that.

It’s not that hard. You just, uhh, pick one. If you don’t like it, just pick another.

You overestimate peoples’ abilities and wherewithal.

Yeah. The Fediverse DOES suck. You won’t hear it from the users here obviously, because of self-righteous anti-capitalist views that drove them here in the first place. And I’m not saying they are wrong or it’s a bad thing, but now you’ve got the furry/band kid table from the high school lunch room helping you form your political opinion and consume your time with AWFUL anime memes.

This place may be the right fit for some, but a lot of people are here because they don’t fit in elsewhere. Some even claim that it’s the way they like it, but niche communities fail while copies of reddit communities are the only ones with engagement. That and the confusing system for platforms/instances will drive away everyday users who are used to an easy sign up. Lemmy/PieFed and Mastodon will probably carve out a tiny base of users over the next few years, but it’s doubtful that they will ever be mainstream. If reddit fails, another capitalist will swoop in and take their place.

Does it still kind of suck?

AI rage bait. Made for engagement. Don’t repost this bullshit
