I was not expecting to wake up to this :(

On one hand, it makes me want to recommend Lemmy.World even more. On the other hand, if Lemmy.World ends up like this too…

It’s a really tricky situation.

It’s definitely overkill. Every time I come across a feddit.org image, it’s just broken on my end :/

I think Peertube is more of a Vimeo alternative. YouTube is built around advertising.

I think the irony here is that the user-friendliness experience of Bluesky stems from it being a centralized service (in practice). I seriously doubt most people who signed up for Bluesky even understand what “decentralized social media” means.

I’m not saying Lemmy (and the greater Fediverse) can’t improve, but it’s clear that the biggest barrier for most people is the decentralized aspect itself – the core of the Fediverse – which is something one shouldn’t really “hide”.

As long as the state of social media usership demands centralized practices, then the Fediverse will forever be at a disadvantage in gaining mass adoption in my opinion.
