Don't tell people "it's easy", and six more things KBin, Lemmy, and the fediverse can learn from Mastodon

    The software should function, yes, but making something too accessible, whether it's a social website or an underground dance club, changes the quality of the experience. Dilutes it, if it doesn't outright destroy it.

    I would say that Reddit is still a great resource when you get down to the small subreddits devoted to particular topics. That's why I want to protect it from the meddling of people who only want to milk it for money.

    I'm a first-wave Reddit refugee and I agree, don't say the fediverse is easy. I've been online since the early 90s and it's not an easy transition. I wish there was a map. I wish it were easier to set up new communities for chatting.

    But having been through these cycles (online and IRL) before, I must say that maybe you don't want it to be too easy. You don't want to get too popular.

    I hope the Reddit revolt works. I want my niche communities back.
