To me, all the complaints in this thread are a great filter. It keeps away all the people that are too lazy and/or incapable to figure out basic things, which are not the people I want to interact with online anyway
attitudes such as this one are my biggest complaint tbh
My thoughts exactly. One of the reasons I came here was to get away from elitist attitudes and punching down at people. If I wanted that, I would've just stayed on ~~Twitter~~ X. Musk and his cult do plenty of that.
exactly!! but with each passing week I see more and more of it on here :/
My tech self surprised me, as I agree.
However, my art self is sad. I'm sure the art community will take a long time to figure out Lemmy.
"It's a good filter" is often just an excuse to not improve the UX. You hear this way more from open-source technically-inclined folks than you do from folks who care about building a product that people want to use.
Honestly I don't think the UX is bad. Sure, a few things could be improved, but it's in a great overall state, especially considering its current growth rate
