I sort by new and most posts are not trash as they were on reddit. Things don't need 50k up votes to be valuable. Lemmy as a platform was the perfect blend of old school forms and reddit. Im just sad it took so long that people forgot how the internet is supposed to work.
It's like they get email is User@domain.tld but for anything else they say that's too hard. Hell even when I give my email they just assume Gmail. I swear Web 2.0 was a cancer.
Exactly mate. Social media era was to toxic.
Those of us who were on the net in the 90s, we had to make accounts for every forum / community site we wanted to use, it wasn't a big deal. Nowadays if you go over to reddit, they're convinced any site you have to create an account for is doomed to fail. Even one like this one, which similar to email, connects you with a wider network outside of the one you signed up on.
Exactly I would say the only thing that I find could improve the fediverse would be the adoption of open ID that way we could login to any instance of lemmy or mastodon using our home insurance. But I could be missing an obvious flaw with that.
