    Same. But I wish it was more straightforward. I’m not convinced the average/occasional user will transition to decentralized platforms if it’s a pain to do so.

      Lemmy is easier to get set up for us folks who aren’t as technical as we used to be. The biggest hurdle for me is for social networks like Twitter or IG where I know people irl who won’t be moving to mastodon probably ever. On Reddit I never made a single friend during the almost 15 years I had an active account.

      Always harder to take a privacy forward approach but the more people adopt it, hopefully all the more who see and also come over.

      Beehaw was super easy. It was literally just your typical sign up process for any website. For me the biggest hurdle initially was just understanding how all of this works, and how they all fit together.

      That might be for the better. The more people that get on these things tends to lower the bar and open these communities up to more bad actors.

        I’m not sure about that. I would expect motivated bad actors to be determined to overcome technical obstacles. It’s normal, casual people who’ll give up and leave.

          Ya the motivated ones will, but the low effort ones won’t which I think will significantly cut down on the overall shittiness.
