The last point is important, especially because I see people here mocking those who aren't as tech-knowledgeable than them for knowing the ABC of privacy and technology. How are you going to get more people to join if you aren't willing to listen why they're struggling to adapt to a platform like lemmy, and you think your POV is the only valid one? How do you expect to avoid echo-chambers when you're being condescending towards potential users? I swear, people just have worms for brains.
Exactly. I didn't want to say it, but the comments I keep seeing saying the barrier for entry is good get me down. It's not just incompetence that gets filtered out when you refuse to adapt.
People are really married to this initial idea of what Lemmy is and don't seem to want to let it evolve. Of all the existential threats to Lemmy, fading into irrelevance is probably the most likely.
