which users should keep in mind
That is my point. Users should not be burdened by such things. Sure, a site has a code of conduct, but if I need to keep track of multiple codes of conducts on "one site" it becomes a burden. Again, just my thoughts, I hope it will work out. Rooting for lemmy and the downfall of Reddit at this point (for no other reason that I am an unreasonably moral bitch).
Here's hoping. (yeah, I'm an unreasonable, hateful bitch. I despise what they did with the Apollo dev (and others) and I hope it bites them in the arse.)
I'm not up-to-date with the latest in accessibility, but does lemmy cater for those who need assistive tech? (just curious)
As a programmer myself I get what you're saying. But for the average user -I suspect- it is just extra, unimportant, information which could be confusing. (It adds no value nor importance)
As for engagement, just be the change your wish to see
I try. I want to make this work so I try to comment more and perhaps even create some posts (things I didn't do on Reddit). But I have no illusion that anything I post will be "quality".
I will. I mentioned somewhere else I was a lurker on Reddit, but try to be more active here in the hopes it will help.
I got twitter during the arab spring to keep up with what happened. I used it mainly for things like that ever since. But it got bad during Trump's reign in America and worse even after Musk, so I used it mainly for porn lately and deleted my account yesterday together with my Reddit account. Not sure yet if this place will be a viable replacement, but willing to give it a chance and see what happens. Like you, hope to see both Musk and Spez go up in flames and live their lives out under some bridge (well, I am using a hyperbole here, they are (supposedly) human after all, so I hope they have a good life, regardless)
The problem with analogies is that they will break down at some point. Not to be pedantic or semantic, but social media is not the same thing as an email. It's not about understanding email but about signing up to a website and finding things of interest without having to think about how it works. Sadly, most people just want things "to work" without having to go through a learning curve, no matter how small. But I could be wrong.
You are not wrong. But that is not user-centric. I think this fediverse has potential, but it needs to find a way to make it more human-centric rather than technical-centric. If it fails, it will probably be because it fails to be intuitive. (just my gut feeling)
