Absolutely no surprise there. When you keep the barrier to entry low and throw in an algorithm to increase “engagement” via outrage, the soup turns to poison quickly.
This is why every time someone says the Fediverse is “too confusing,” I just smile and nod. That attitude of petulant, lazy, self-imposed gatekeeping is what’s keeping the Fediverse a much nicer place to be.
Well said! A high barrier to entry, and a low barrier to exit working as intended. Let's enjoy the good times while they last.
Its not even a high barrier. You just have to choose an instance from a list.
Well, it's not easy. I fell it's like choosing a Linux distro to use.
Yeah that's why everyone gravitates to the most popular one, like Hannah Montana Linux.
What the hell did you make me Google
"Hannah Montana is considered fast, stable, and powerful by most users".
Ok, Lemmy has officially gotten my first "ok now people are looking at me" laugh.
I mean, it's basically a theme pack on top of Kubuntu, so it's not wrong.
Just the objectively most beautiful piece of software ever made.
