Smellbringer@llebrun And yet people still don't wanna use it because "server scary."
Semi Sentient AI Cooling Water@Smellbringer @llebrun I do think we need to dumb it down slightly just make simple invites to friends to our preferred instances. Don't bamboozle them with choice.
Joe Lapp, Bug Poet@sentient_water @Smellbringer @llebrun It also took me about 60 seconds to figure out how to create a link the the above post I could share on Facebook. When I attempted to share the boosted post, FB provided an error graphic, likely because Mastodon is not making proper use of Open Graph (to play well with others). Mastodon *is* often a pain to use.
Joshua A.C. Newman@sentient_water @Smellbringer @llebrun “Dumbing things down” is the opposite of bringing someone on.
Overcoming choice paralysis doesn’t make you smart. It means you had a criterion on which to make a decision. If “it doesn’t matter” what instance to use, yeah: send them an invite. If it matters, send them an invite. There’s no reason to have to make an inherently uninformed choice first.
@JoshuaACNewman @Smellbringer @llebrun Yeah that's definitely not the case. Also you didn't solve the equation so jog on.
@JoshuaACNewman @Smellbringer @llebrun x3+y3+z3=k, with k being all the numbers from one to 100
Solve the above & I'll agree with you!
@sentient_water @Smellbringer @llebrun Ah, I get it. You’re invested in gatekeeping. Don’t worry, were all working hard to tear down gates and you’ll be able to find something useful to do soon.
